Can't Register SmartLink

WA5YOM

I cannot register SmartLink....."could not access SmartLink Server"
I am using a Netgear C7800 with Upnp....it is setup properly, best I can tell......I have a separate switch (GS108T) for the FlexNetwork that is connected to the C7800.....
WHen I check with a port open tool....it shows that port 4994 and 4993 are closed even though they are activated within the C7800,,,,I validated that the port tool works,,,,since it shows that the remote desktop port 3389 is open.
I am at a loss...

Tim, The SmartLink server is an authorization server, and does not require that the pass through ports are operational to log in, have you created an uique login to SmartLink server ? Is your radio connected directly to your network and Internet access? and not to to your computer? Dudley

I have whatever **** stuff Spectrum used when they wired my condo for TV and internet, but it seems to work great with Flex and SmartLink.

I have previously registered with Smartlink...but the register button is displayed...my computer, Flex,AG and Powergenius are on a switch...the switch is connected to a port on the Cable modem/router...which is directly connected to the internet...it can’t register because it says it cannot connect to the smartlink server.

Tim, the passthru ports, 4993 & 4994, have to point to the radio IP address in order for SmartLink to work properly.

Can you access everything within your LAN? You didn’t have a subnet issue come up with the change in modem? Static addressing can get in the way there. GL & 73 Steve K9ZW

Tim, It’s normal for the external port number to be different from the LAN side ports , and security wise, normally you do not have both UPnP and manual set up for the same LAN IP . Glad you have it working now, good luck, 73, Dudley

Well..with just UPnp..it wouldn’t work...but when I set it up manally with port forwarding ..and internal/external were the same ....it worked and the ip’s are the same...right now both manual and UPnp are activated...
