Synology NAS Manual Router Setup for external access

steveym — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 11:09:19 GMT

Hi,

I am running through the configuration page and I am prompted to select the router from the dropdown list.

The options presented do not list the Bell Gigahub and wondering what to select.

I believe I have to setup Port Forwarding manually.

Your Bell gateway modem is a Sagemcom model and customized for Bell, It has both modem and router under the hood. I've forgotten the model number.

You would need to open ports manually, on the Gigahub. Synology has a list.

Port-forwarding on these Bell modems can be hit-or-miss. So if it becomes a major PIA, you can use Synology Quick Connect . There have been some security concerns raised when using QC.

Thanks @ZaneP Appreciated.

I probably should have been clearer, I tried the Synology Quick Connect and it could not configure and was asking for the modem/router model to proceed.

I suspected I had to configure manually, but thought to check first.
