![]() ![]() The common PS4 and Xbox recommendations overlap, and they include ports (Hello, 80! Hello, 53!) that need to be permitted outbound, but shouldn't have forwarding configured inbound. The Nintendo Switch guidance to forward "every" port would have side effects. I also agree with the comments from Eero about it being problematic. But if I needed to forward a range of ports, I'd want a better UI too! I'm surprised this doesn't exist yet. The defaults are "opinionated" in a good way. I'm curious about the other use cases people in the thread have. I haven't needed to forward a large range of ports in a long time. The mosh folks recognize that their approach makes networking complicated, and they've discussed forwarding, port multiplexing, and nat traversal options for years.Īnother option is to open the ports dynamically. We've waited long enough.Ĭhanomie shamurai bdennyw outaTiME Mosh only needs as many ports forwarded as there are concurrent sessions. They already have an amazing product that is the best I have seen in hardware and software quality (outside of apple, which I refuse to use).Įero, its time to focus on the users now, please update this activity soon. I am disappointed by the development team not taking a priority on the user's quality of life. Despite people actively asking for an update for this feature. Its like Eero decided that this one section just didn't need to be updated, despite this feature being 'Under construction' for 3 years. If I was a developer on this team I would've (and have on my own product) put my own time in, off the clock, to get this done for the quality of life of my users. They should've pushed the release of the app for this feature, since they were already overhauling the app, especially since they pushed the release of the android app by months. Every other section of the app has been updated to at least support the dark theme, even if the UI was the same as before (which in most cases is not).Īs an experienced developer, I don't see this taking more than a week to update this one activity to support this. The same screen from the previous version of the app that only allows opening a single port at a time. I was immediately blinded by a bright white screen. Seeing this I got excited, and immediately check the port forwarding section. It looks amazing, and even supports a dark theme (which I set immediately). I just opened the Android app today to check something, and found that it had been completely overhauled. There are also tons of half-informed recommendations from vendors and know-it-all tech forums! But there are still some dumb applications and things that haven't been updated out there. These days there are lots of effective mechanisms. If you aren't using UPnP/NAT-PMP, you can do that same mapping yourself.Ī few years ago things like SIP/VoIP were problematic behind NAT. ![]() It allows internal devices with overlapping internal ports to automatically use non-overlapping external ports. This is one of the situations that UPnP/NAT-PMP improves. What problem are you trying to solve? If you have multiple devices or applications that recommend duplicate or overlapping ports, typically they can be configured to use non-overlapping ports. You can't forward a packet to two places. You can only have one rule per external port. This is going to be the case for most routers on most home ISP connections. This isn't an Eero limitation, it's true for any device doing NAT with a single external IP address. Nnelson221You can't forward the same port to multiple devices because it doesn't make sense. Without any doubt, a prospective purchaser who confirms Eero routers support port forwarding would be entirely justified in assuming they also support port range forwarding. ![]() That's an almost inconceivable situation. Rather, it arises from the fact Eero support told me "yes" and "that's correct" when I asked whether Eero devices support "port range forwarding" and when I paraphrased the conversation by stating, "Just to confirm we're on the same page, Eeros support forwarding a range of ports." In hindsight I shouldn't have believed that Eero support person, but prior to yesterday I generally would have placed more trust in a manufacturer's tech support department than in forum posts.įWIW, it's absolutely ridiculous in 2020 that a router supporting port forwarding doesn't support port range forwarding. IMO, my complaint isn't due to lack of research. Especially because hardware/software reviews and other information found on the Internet may be outdated, or simply incorrect, I occasionally contact a manufacturer when I have questions. David S I completely agree researching a product before purchase is important. ![]()
