Wi-Fi device cannot access Ethernet device

tobym — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 13:31:33 GMT

Hi,

I have the SR203 hub and I have a synology NAS connected to the router Ethernet.

from my PC I can webbrowse to the NAS settings but from a phone on the WiFi it just times out.

has anyone seen issues with WiFi devices not being able to communicate with Ethernet device not using port 80?

Should say the PC is also on Ethernet connection

@tobym How are you browsing, and by which protocol are you trying to do the same. Have you also tried another wireless wi-fi connected device to see if it is only a phone issue!

Thanks,

I have tried to phones, the web address for the NAS is https://192.168.1.21:5600

I can dust off the laptop and try that also

@tobym Take you have changed the dhcp scope on the sky hub to match that IP range!

Yep, that was just the address format for reference

@tobym Port 5001 if you are doing secure protocol to the nas!

I have a custom port, could be a phone issue with this router.

working from a laptop on the wifi.

Not keen on this new SR203 FTTP router. All the custom stuff I had setup pre fibre install is having issues now. But I need to keep the landline part so I'm kinda stuck at the moment

@tobym Port forwarding and the uPnP work really well on the SR203 hub so surprised you are having issues with it. What were you using before the Sky Hub!

I had extracted the connection details from my old broadband hub and have been using an Archer VR600 as a replacement. nothing to major on the router, vpn dyndns, guest wifi, Mac reservations, WOL the ability to administer the NAS from the phone browser is a deal breaker. No clue why that would only work from pc's with the sr203.
