wifi and setup issues
Re: wifi and setup issues
Okay I'll mess with it later but what your saying is I need to open the incoming ip address and port? The one I have on the portal is showing me. I was messing with the other one.

Re: wifi and setup issues
You're being distracted by the splash page after you click on your router brand. There is a "close" "x" at the top. Just carefully run through the site. It is FREE. Take your time so you totally comprehend everything.heathd wrote:Looks like that link would be great. Except 30 bucks! Grrrr

Re: wifi and setup issues
Can you tell us your exact Motorola modem model #? When I have time, I'll look it up and see if I can walk you through it. Or perhaps someone else w/ the same modem can too.
By the way, do you have a modem only or a modem/router? Also, do you have 2 of them wired together or just the one that came from your internet company?

It's a modem router combo. Sbg6580
Re: wifi and setup issues
It's just one combo modem router with cable Internet. Btw thanks for taking time to try and help here. I've been happy with everything so far just trying to get this last step done here has kicked my ass.

Re: wifi and setup issues
I just went to that website that I posted. I looked for your router and the instructions. One thing that I don't remember needing to do is create a static IP address. (I went to the instructions for my router and it suggests the same but I am pretty sure I didn't do it.)
So...for forwarding, I used as an example "Apache" since RA will not be in the list. The concept is the same. The only difference is that RA uses port 2000.
Try that and see what happens. It would help to post what your ISP or Motorola suggested you do for port forwarding too if the above doesn't work. Good luck!
