I have a number of services I’d like to host, and an old laptop with some of them set up and working on my network.
But I currently have a Google router, and the Google home app doesn’t seem to let you port forward. The “Port Management” option in Advanced Settings redirects to privacy settings.
There’s one port I forwarded before the app broke a few years ago, but I don’t suppose it’s viable to run multiple services through a single port.
Is there a workaround, or am I stuck until I can get a new router?
Update: After more troubleshooting it seems like this is caused by the more fundamental issue of the app not communicating with the network at all. If anyone has ideas for troubleshooting that problem, advice would be very appreciated.
Manager is the highest. (I think there are only two tiers anyway.)
There is something uniquely wrong with your setup; this is not a general google router issue. Which is good news, you don’t need a new router. The next obvious step (for me) would be to wipe the data for the Home app on the phone and re-set it up. If that doesn’t resolve it, you might consider resetting the router itself to factory, though that could be more annoying.
