ATT Uverse router settings ?

[Borch]

 I recently switched to ATT Uverse internet provider and I can not configure the firewall for Remote Rig. I tried to a custom install, but ATT did not allow. The router is a Motorola 5268AC.

Any help would be appreciated...... Burl,   AJ9Q

Looks like we're in the same boat.  I just posted same thing.  ("AT no T -- Configuration")

If you find any info, let me know, and visa versa.

Good luck to us,

Did you try to connect to your router and their router, or are you just using their router?  We're your problems in port forwarding?

Hi Ken

It looks like we found the same problem, IPv6 is not compatible with Remote Rig at this time.  However, ATT will sell you IPv4 address for $15/ month.  I was ready to sell my Remote Rig and go DSTAR, but with the pending firmware update on Remote Rig to support IPv6, I will delay and cross my fingers.

What department (and what tech level) did you talk to at ATT to get IPV4?

[W6BQZ]

It does look like it will be some time before the firmware will be available, so IPv4 is the only way for the foreseeable future

Hi Ken

I called the main number 800.288.2020.  Beware they will want to transfer you to Connec Tech Support and they will want to send someone to your house. I kept asking for sales and requesting a static IPv4 address, be prepared for getting transferred, transferred and transferred.  However, I find find a person who was able to do the paperwork.
Also, Verizon will provide an IPv4 address for your cellphone, the cost is a flat $500.

Make sure you have full cup of coffee before you start......Burl,  AJ9Q

Good info.  Thanks.

I'm not sure why you want a static IP address, Time Warner wasn't static and I used my RR on TW for over 2 years in joyous bliss without it ever changing IP numbers.  And, static IPs come with an awful cost, am I right?

And it shouldn't be so hard to get ATT to be able to reveal if they are IPv4 or IPv6, but it is.  Like pulling' teeth.

Anyway, I have found another ham in my club who believes he may well have some answers.  In my case, I have the ATT combo router/modem and my own modem is plugged into it.  Up until now, I (with a ton of help for a different ham) tried using both my router and plugging directly into the ATT router.  Both attempts failed.  But my new aquaintance just told me that we should plug directly into the ATT router.  We will be doing that and more in the next week and if I come back successful, I will, we will promise to share what we did.

I have to say this at this point.  It should not be so hard to make these RRs work.  With all of our brains and technology, we somehow have failed to get our computers and our radios to talk to one another.  I shouldn't have to hire a tech to get it to function, and neither should you.  But here we are.

All for now.  I will report back soon.

Still have a problem with new configuration.  I have the static IPv4 address setup, DDNS and port forwarding.  I can connect to my remote (home) unit, but I do not get any audio on the control unit.  "Audio fail" on control unit message.  Also, when I the turn the VFO dial, the home unit will only move about 40kHz and then lock up on both units.  Other buttons on control units seem to work properly.  Brandon from Elecraft spent an hour and was not successful, although he was an immense help.  My firmware is the latest rev.

My internet connections is 980M bps upload and download.

Looking for any constructive ideas or suggestions.....  Burl,  AJ9Q

Have you put all of the UDP port forwards in the new router? Have you made
sure that SIP ALG was turned off?

Hi Mitch

Yes, all ports forwarding 13000, 13001, 13002 UDP setup.  SIP ALG is turned off.  Maybe a bit limit in the router??

Thanks....  AJ9Q,  Burl

Burl,

I can take a look at your router settings using Teamviewer if you want. I will have more time after today, however.

I suggest we make a direct connect, you can e-mail me at dj0qn (at) darc.de

I have a good connection using my iPhone as a hotspot and everything functions perfectly, apparently my previous tests using my LAN has some problems.  My Remote Rig is used mostly with my iPhone during traveling, so my issued is solved with ATT Uverse IPv6.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.....  Burl,  AJ9Q
