Model: Archer MR600

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 200511 Rel.44954n

I have set up port forwarding to access my Home Assistant router remotely, but it doesn't seem to be working. I would expect that typing in my IP address to a browser would get me to the HA login screen. But I just get a timeout. Internal IP and internal port below are correct for my Home Assistant server - these are what I use to access it locally. Have already turned off NAT boost as I read that this could cause an issue. Any advice much appreciated.

@justinsw

If your MR600 Internet IP address is different than your public IP address then you're probably behind double NAT or CG-NAT.

The only possible solution is to contact your ISP (mobile service provider) and ask him if he could provide a public IP address for your MR600.

found an old thread here: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/593280. My public IP address (which duckdns shows) is different from the IPV4 address that I see in my router settings. What's that about and does it make a difference?
