GL-XE3000 Port Forwarding

Technical Support for Routers

Hello everyone.

I switched from a Zyxel NR5103E router to a GL.iNet GL-XE3000 router.

I have cameras at home and so that I can access them from the outside, I have port forwarding.

On Zyxel, I had access to them while on the WiFi network (i.e. internal) - and I have no idea why, although it shouldn't work in theory, but it did. Before Zyxel, I had some simple 4G router and there, in fact, to get to the cameras, I had to turn off WiFi on my phone and access the CCTV app from the external network.

It turns out that Zyxel had some clever, automatic setting that allowed access to the CCTV app even while on the internal network.

On the new GL.iNet GL-XE3000 router, I have the situation from the old 4G router, i.e. I can't get to the CCTV app while on the WiFi network.

Do you have any idea what was set in Zyxel and what I could set now in GL.iNet GL-XE3000?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

we're not sure if this is a issue, but the camera + phone Apps ever we met that automatically set up local links to access whenever they detect that in the same LAN.

Try swapping to software acceleration or disable to see. But there may be an effect on the NAT speed.

Thank you for your answer. I switched off and then set the acc. to software but both options did not t help.
FYI: In my camera app I have entered static ip so I can connect from outside obviously. If I set it to internal ip it works when I am on WiFi but of course does not when I`m on 5G/LTE. And the the other way around.
Do you have any ideas how to solve this? Maybe some additional port forwarding setup?
