Faro Posted May 28, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 28, 2015 Hi all, Hope someone here can clarify something for me. I want to wake my Xpenology externally from the internet, but to do so I have to open UDP port 9. I have no problem waking it on my LAN. I am using an Apple Airport Extreme. I have set it up on the Airport, but it doesn't seem to work. Using one of those port checking web sites (http://www.portchecktool.com) shows me that the port remains closed. I have Googled & read for hours and have had no luck trying to resolve the problem. I have come across other threads mentioning the issue, but no clear answers. I have had no problem opening TCP ports on the Airport. Is there a specific issue with UDP ports & the Airport Extreme? Is it an issue with my ISP? This is incredibly frustrating. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMD Posted May 28, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 28, 2015 Port checking UDP is not easy as same TCP. My hunch is that, as same many routers, the Airport doesn`t allow broadcasting WAN to LAN. If so, you`re out of luck. If you`re lucky it could be a setting in Airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
