Port forwarding issue HUB 5

Greetings to the esteemed community,

I seek your expertise regarding a technical matter concerning port forwarding on the HUB 5 device. Within my local area network (LAN), I possess multiple "smart devices" that can be accessed and controlled locally through a web browser interface by inputting their respective IP addresses, such as 192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.11, and so on. These devices utilize local port 80 (HTTP) for communication.

However, I am facing a challenge in configuring these devices to be accessible from external locations.
While I have successfully established port forwarding for only one device with the configuration
WAN IP - 86.xxx.xxx.73:190 -> Port forward to -> 192.168.0.10:80,
Subsequent attempts to set up additional rules encounter a conflict within the router due to port 80 being already in use. example WAN IP - 86.xxx.xxx.73:191 -> Port forward to -> 192.168.0.11:80,

I kindly request your assistance in understanding this issue and providing a simplified explanation of the underlying technical concepts. Your expertise in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your attention to this inquiry experts 😉

  • Just checked my Hub5, and it certainly does detect the port 80 destination as clashing, even though the internal IP addresses are different.   i.e. it doesn't work.   Short sighted implimentation by Sagem if you ask me.

    My PfSense firewall lets me do it, as do most NAT Gateways.

    Also the VM Hub4 allows it, but the firmware for these was originally written by Motorola-Arris

    Do your smart devices allow you to specify unique Remote Management Port numbers ?
