If one is moving one's FlexRadio, that is already registered (at home), to a different location (club), and presuming the clubs router responds to UPnP, do you just move it and turn it on.
Or, must you access it locally at the new location, de-register the radio and then re-register the radio, so the cloud servers know it's new location (IP address)?

At the new location you may not have UPnP available, so you may have to set up port forwarding manually.

Thanks Dave,
I suspected as much. Just didn't know if it was dynamic, like some ddns services, of if it was a one time "set it". As you have to click the mic, for security, I suspected it was de-register and re-register process.
Yea, I've done the manual router thing, as I have two radios and a commercial type router that does not do the UpnP service.
Thanks Again,

The reason I say this is that over the weekend, I had a total and 100% firewall meltdown requiring it to be rebuilt from scratch. During that period, my WAN IP address changed.
Essentially SL came back online the next time I powercycled the radio.
If you un-register, then you will need to PTT register again.

Interesting Mike.
I'm going to take the radio over to a club on Friday. I'll fire it up there and see if it works first, before I de-register and post it back here.

When the radio is moved to a different location and powered up, the radio, assuming that the router configuration is the same (UPnP or static port forwarding), the radio will contact the SmartLink server and inform it of its new public IP address, port information and you are good to go.
Now if the router's network configuration at the new location is different from that of the original location, then once you log in to your SmartLink account using a client on the local LAN, you will need to change the network configuration on the radio to match the new router's configuration.
So in your example you proposed, you would not have to re-register the radio or change the network configuration because the original and new router are both UPnP configured.
I'd bring a lap top with SmartSDR loaded on it to the club just in case you need to change the radio's network configuration.

What iOS SmartLink clients show on both iPhone and iPad:
UDP: 21993 TCP: 21994
What is shown in modem NAT as a result of 6700 registration via uPnP:
I suppose I could manually remap the ports to what SmartLink says they should be externally, but based on this post that shouldn't be required at all. What's wrong?

Here's the new mappings (i added the ones marked "custom").
Don't know why the router re-ranged the target ports (another bug probably because that's not what I entered, but it's working)
Looks like a bug in 2.0.19 (didn't see this issue before upgrading from 2.0.17 to .19)
