Sammy 735 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Do yourself a favor and get a Ubiquiti UniFi USG, Switch 8 and a a UAP ProAC. The cloud key is not mandatory as you can use your PC. https://youtu.be/f_-iuY_xxFY Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Edited April 11, 2020 by Sammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk ubiquiti is expensive to do it right (all unifi equipment router--poe switch--AP's but worth it even if you can only to chunks at a time.... But once done you can see the full picture of your network. know what every device is doing, how your network is performing.. without much "setup" or network knowledge... for the most part...... knighthawk is a nice device though... had one before i switched..

Rather than throw hardware at the problem - why not figure out why your port forwarding does not 'stay active' ? It's probably related to DDNS not updating itself when your ISP allocates you a new dynamic IP - so while I also run Ubiquiti kit, it's rather overkill to fix a DDNS issue imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcan 0 Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 I had a static ip address so it wouldn't change would that make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 UniFi might be overkill for this issue but I've had no issues whatsoever since running Ubiquity. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmind11 717 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I had a static ip address so it wouldn't change would that make a difference? assuming it's a ddns problem, yes that would fix it. However that'll cost you money. I'd be more inclinced to fix the ddns issue, since it's free and likely a simple fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAlGaInTl 279 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 All this Unifi talk makes me want to switch... But then I would want a rackmount unit... then it just gets more expensive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
