    Looks like your already behind a 10.90 router and that may be what is blocking ports by your Provider

    It looks like the ISP will not open the ports. Moreover there is the issue of static IP addresses. While I can do this at my LAN, this does not look like the case with the ISP and its networks. But I s there a problem with that? So looks like I will have to try the VPN solution. Will this actually work on the Flexradios? I will have to look/read more in the Community... Thanks, again! Gerry

    Your SIM router is using Enterprise NAT and this configuration is not compatible with SmartLink.

    You may be able to use a bridged VPN for remote access.

    Hi, Tim! Thanks for getting back. Now how do I implement a bridged VPN? There are available commercial VPN service providers for a fee. Is it as simple as subscribing to one and using their service? 73s Gerry

    I didn't.  Ended up getting rid of the Maestro I bought with the radio to use remotely.  I don't know anything about raspberry pi, linux etc

    And I am thinking of getting a Maestro... I also know little about networking software solutions... Some have mentioned bridged VPN... I do not know anything about it. Let us see where this leads me.

    Yes, it is the solution I mentioned.  Just use the updated SmartEther software when installing it.

    This will mean a lot of study for me; I just have a beginner’s understanding of Linux... That many others have tried this solution and that it works encourages me. Thanks, Tim! 73s Gerry DU7EYG
