If the router supports NAT loopback it is enabled by default - details.

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".

  @terziyski Thanks for the information - but how I can check if my A8 Archer supports NAT loopback?

What I would like use this technology for the purposes of using CCTV and private could both inside and outside my network.

E.G. if my public IP is 31.31.199.199 and local IP for this server is 192.168.0.101 I would like to redirect packages from the first one to the second IP inside my network (to shorten the connection and avoid unnecessary going packages outside network and coming back again).

There's two ways to know that:

1. Follow the steps in the story I posted and check if NAT loopback is working on your router.

2. A TP-Link representative to confirm that Archer A8 supports NAT loopback.

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".
