Port forwarding in a mesh network. Is it possible?
Hello,
I'm not sure this is the correct forum to ask in since my question is not really about Windows, but here goes.
I have a Synology NAS that is placed at a family members house. It works as a backup to my NAS at my own house. She has a router provided by her ISP, and to it a mesh network (TP Link (Deco)) is connected.
I've connected the NAS to one of the mesh devices (office) using ethernet cable. I am able to connect to the NAS using Synologys QuickConnect, however, to be able to use it as a backup source I need to connect via DDNS and a few ports need to be opened.
I tried to open the relevant ports on the Deco iOS app, but the connection still fails.
At home I have no mesh system and no problems using my routers port forwarding feature, however in the mesh system the NAS is not visible on the router admin page. There I can only see two mesh points. The NAS IS visible in the mesh system however.
Do you know how I can open all relevant ports all the way to the NAS so that connection can be made?
The setup, as far as I can see, looks something like this:
Internet <cable to> router <cable to> mesh device 1 <wifi to> mesh device 2 <cable to> NAS
