| Port Forwarding for Icom Radios - VK3FS The new and free wfview software has generated a lot of interest in the amateur radio world around controlling Icom radios remotely. Icom sells the RS-BA1 software which has similar functionality. Configuring port forwarding in modems and routers can be a dark art if you haven't done it before, so hopefully, this video will make things just that little bit easier. This video shows how to configure a TP-Link Archer modem, which is a very popular VDSL modem here in Australia, to port forward to an Icom IC-705 or the Icom RS BA1 v2 software. In Australia, many ISPs use CGNAT to bundle many customers onto one external IP. This prevents external requests from being forwarded to ANY device on your home network, so don't get caught out with an internet connection that can't do what you want it to do. There is no workaround for this except to change providers or pay a little more for a service that's not behind a CGNAT. It may pay to do a little research to see if your ISP allows this before losing your hair! https://youtu.be/ODrPaAKCrqA |
