Does anyone out there have an Aquacontroller III that's hooked up to a Netgear router? Or just know a lot about getting these things set up for web access?
I can access the ACIII through my LAN fine, but I can't seem to get it set up correctly for web access. The instructions say to the WAN side port using either port forwarding or UPnP. I think my ISP may block port 80 requests, but my port forwarding menu doesn't have a separate entry for internal/external port, so I'm really not sure which one I'm entering. My UPnP menu shows (and labels) internal and external, but there's nothing I can modify on that menu, and it doesn't list the AC anyway. Lastly, my ISP uses dynamic IP addresses, so I went through dyndns.org to get a static IP address. Is there somewhere in the router configuration I'm supposed to enter that address? Port forwarding won't accept it.
I'm fairly computer savvy, but pretty ignorant when it comes LANs and the internet. If anyone can decipher what I'm trying to explain here, could you help me out.
