Having just started with Sparks new Wireless Lan instead of copper line and wishing to use a Port Forward utility I find I am unable to access anything other than a password change in the router. I use a program called PlanePlotter which charts aircraft over the world and in my case NZ. With no port forwarding utility I cannot get or give raw data which is essential to be linked in to the PlanePlotter system. Is there any way I could access the router NAT facility to do Port Forwarding? Any ideas anyone?

Petenz:

 

Getting Wireless Broadband seemed the obvious solution given that it was faster and half the cost per month. However if I get a static address to solve this problem it will cost a little extra ….$15.00 a month apparently, but still no guarantee that I can install port forwarding (UDP 7942) Needs more investigation I think.

 

 

Port forwarding works fine with a static ip.

 

 

 

It's purely that wireless broadband doesnt have a public ip without it.

 

Port forwarding works on the B315 too, but it can be clunky to use.
