Can’t access admin page from home WiFi

WhiskerBiscuit · 2022-03-13T19:19:27.668Z

I plugged my home network into my Beryl’s WAN port. I used my router’s reserved feature so the Beryl always gets the same IP. I can in fact ping it from a device on my home network, but I can’t browse to the IP address.

If i connect to the Beryl’s WiFi, then I can browse to that IP address or 192.168.8.1 and I’ll get the admin login page. What’s blocking this and how do I unblock it?

To gain access to the admin page from the WAN side, you have to add a port forwarding rule for TCP Port 80 from WAN to LAN IP address 192.168.8.1. You have to connect to the Beryl’s wifi, then go to Admin Panel → Firewall → Port Forwards. Use the WAN IP address to access the admin page, which then gets forwarded to the LAN IP address.

You may consider adding port forwarding for TCP Port 22 also, which will allow you to SSH and WinSCP into the router.

I do not work for and I do not have formal association with GL.iNet

You need to open port 80 and 22 on the wan side.

That does not work for the Slate AX? I have both ports forwarded to 192.168.8.1, but if i try to access the IP that is assigned to the Sate by the main router (connected LAN of main router to WAN port of slate) then it times out.

As already explained above, there are 2 ways to open up access to the admin page

Either open the port , or forward the port to the LAN interface IP address and port.

Open ports 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS) , 22 (SSH), 8080 (Luci) as needed.
Your home network is a WAN network for this Beryl.
Accessing devices in the Beryl LAN network from your home network, will require more port forwards and/or a DMZ setting on the Beryl.

Can you post screenshots of how do you configure port forward?

You cannot forward to 192.168.8.1. You need to forward to the WAN IP of the router.

Port forward needed here is from WAN to LAN (192.168.8.1 port 80)
