Provider lock port 80 - how to connect FIBARO?

[Krupek 0]

Hi, My provider has blocked port 80. How do I connect to the Fibaro through with outer IP? How to change settings on the router (Model No. TP LINK Archer C2)? Please help!

hi - how do you know your provider has blocked this ? seems odd, but not impossible - it may be to stop people running webservers for example

 

Anyway - you need to use port forwarding - download the manual for your router - its called Virtual Servers (section 4.12.1)

 

You need to know

 

1) your external IP address (go to google - type 'whats my ip' it will tell you your external IP - eg 50.50.50.50 as an example)

2) a port which your service provider doesnt block - eg TCP 1234 - example

3) your HC IP address - probably 192.168.x.y - for example 192.168.10.10.

 

below are the steps from the manual as to how to setup virtual servers - I have pasted in the example values - use the real values for more success

Items to note:

Your external IP may well change - you may wish to look into setting up DNS entries - but we will leave that for now

Your internal IP for your HC may change - if it is using DHCP- might be best to fix this to ensure the internal aspect of the port forwarding still works

 

Let me know how you get on
