Port forwarding error - in Smarthub 2

Go to solution

Hi,

Port forwarding rule added via UPnP/TR064. Protocol: TCP, external ports: any->8001, internal ports: 8001, internal client: 192.168.1.168

I have a strange, new log repeatedly in my technical log of my Smarthub 2. Can anyone explain why it appears repeatedly in my log?   If it implies a new rule is added, why is it doing it repeatedly and where can I see if this rule exists?

.168 is my iMac on which there is a CCTV security system running - which has been running for years without issue. The Smarthub had also been running without showing these log entries too.  

Note: Maybe unrelated but I have had a more recent issue of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi disconnecting for 3 seconds periodically.. lots of "disassociate "logs and my browser shows not connected.  I can't diagnose that but it might be related to a new BT Disc installed, or excessive switching between 2.4 and 5GHZ bands.  I tried to switch off 5 GHz and that seemed to help - but then I lose the disc as that is only 5Ghz.

It's UPnP opening the port

Disable UPnP in the hub advanced settings
