Opening ports on a Virgin Hub 3.0

Hi,

I am trying to set up a video doorbell on my wifi network. I'm currently using a Virgin Hub 3.0

The manufacturers have specified that the following ports should be available:

TCP in 50157 - 65168
TCP out 80, 443, 9998
UDP in 68, 50534 - 62946
UDP out 53, 123, 5353

Can anyone advise me how I should make sure that these ports are available please ?

Thanks



Geoff

Log in to the hub go to Advanced settings/Security/port forwarding and create the port rules there.

Thanks - I thought of that, but the device does not have an IP address yet. Not sure how the port forwarding words without one of those

Wouldn't bother. The Hub 3.0 is a POS.You cannot even reliably assign fixed ip addresses to MAC addresses. The path of least resistance is to use Modem Mode and buy a reasonable router.

My pick is the ASUS RT-AC68U. Good router that you can buy on eBay for ~£70-80.

Don't forget, your time and piece of mind is worth something ..

Forget to ask: when you say "video doorbell", do you mean the Ring device? I have one connected to my ASUS network and it works fine ..

I did not have to add any port forwarding in my router for the doorbell. I may be wrong but if the router supports UPnP (which the Hub 3.0 claims to) then you just need to connect to the 2.4GHz network.

Please PM me if you want to discuss anything?

I have never used any shub in router mode so I am not au fait with the gui but on a normal router you would connect the device to your network, let the router see the mac address and assign it an ip address and then go into a lan management/dhcp leasing option and assign a static ip address to the device.

me too, and an example of what I have already described above is below and this is how easy and straight forward things should be if you have a proper router:
