I have in the passed turned off the router on the Comcast modem and used my own router. But, since getting this modem it has actually been rock solid, and I have had no issues, until now.
I do a lot of BBQing and smoking food during the summer months and I have my smoker connected to the internet, so that I can keep a eye on it and be able to make adjustments when needed. I have been using .noip to host a address that I could port forward to my Rpi using port 80. The port number is not an issue as I have tried many different port numbers and none have worked. Anyways, when I make sure my .ddns.net is targeting my external IP address to the modem and I actually when I am able to save settings in the router(separate issue) I'm not able to get it to work. Again it does not matter which port number I try, as I changed them on my Rpi and the router, nothing works and I am not able to view my smoker off my network. I can connect to the Rpi just fine when I type in it's Ip while on network and I can get pushbullet to work and it will send my alerts for any alarms I may have.
I also never have this issue when using my own router. Only with Comcast modem/router.
I really don't want to go and buy an wifi6 router nor do I want to use a older router, that I have, just to get this to work.
I'm not sure what else I can try at this point. It's not the end of the world either, if I can't connect to my smoker to see if my pork butt is getting close to being done, lol. But, having the ability to be able change the temperature when needed is nice to have.
So, does anybody have any suggestions to get port forwarding to work.
