Port forwarding issue HUB 5

[urgiv]

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 😉

What you want to do should be totally possible, I do similar on my own router. The problem is that VM hubs have very minimal facilities to change any of the network settings that a lot of people want to tailor. This is one of the reasons many people have their own networking equipment and run in modem mode. In the many years I have been with VM and its predecessor companies I have always run the hub in modem mode, never ever router mode. The own real answer is to by your own networking equipment.

Do you have a Windows PC that is always on?

Set up port forwarding over several ports on the same IP in the HUB settings, then setup port forwarding on the Windows PC to several IPs over the same port:

I would never use a windoze pc as router for this.

Best solution is to use your own WiFi router.   Then either set the hub to modem-mode, or in router mode forward all the external ports you need (190, 192, etc.) directly to your router & do the port translation there.

Option two would be swap the hub5 for a hub4 which does what you want.

Have today upgraded from Hub 3 to Hub 5 due to failure.  Port forwarding settings that worked on 3 don't work on 5.  It wont let me specify two rules that forward different external ports to port 80 on two different internal devices.

Same answer. 

USE YOUR OWN ROUTER.
