I'm having issues with port forwarding as well. In previous roters I've used I didn't have to do anything to open common ports. I just connected a device by selecting the router and entering the password. But the SSH protocol is not enabled - and you can only enable it for one device! I have two home control hubs that I like to access using SSH so that I can look at log files for debugging. I've gotten SSH to work but only to one device at a time!

  I also have solar on my home and the inverter uses Ethernet to continuously report status to the manufacturers host where I can monitor operation and get alerts for any issues. But the inverter cannot connect at all because I think common ports can only be forwarded manually to connected devices. It sems to me that this router (Deco W7200) is crippled.

  Another thing I've noticed on the phone app (again - why not a fully functional web connection?) theres a heading for offline devices - but nothing ever shows up there. The firmware in this router seems not ready for prime time.

Deco does not support SSH management.That's just nonsense - I have it working for one device - it's a port!

As for the Solar inverter panel, do you mean it is connected to the Deco via Ethernet cable but it did not show up on the Deco APP client list so you are not able to open any ports for the inverter? Yes, that's exactly the situation.

For the offline lists, currently, Deco will not automatically clear the offline history and if there is no offline device( or I tested deleting all the offline devices), then heading for offline device will disappear as well. So I think the Deco APP has a slower load time and the offline clients have not been updated yet.

Would it help if trying to close the APP and open it again? I don't understand what you're trying to say here. I have devices (two televisions) that go offline (and disappear from the client list and don't appear in the offline list) when they're turned off - and come back online when I turn them on. The heading for offline devices is always there and the list is always empty.

This product doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Functionally it looks like it was never fully developed. Is it actually being supported? I see so many discrepancies in the way it works I feel that I'm stuck with a router that's crippled. I can't really return it - it's not broken - it just doesn't work!

I have two W7200 units. The solar inverter is connected by Ethernet to the main unit. I can't set up a static IP (is this ?) because it never shows up as a connected device. Can I add it if I knw it's MAC address?

Here's another anomaly. I successfully forwarded port 22 to one of my Vera hubs. The connection seems stable and it seems to communicate without problems.. Its IP address appears in the list of "Address Reservation". But the forwarded port does not appear under "Port Forwarding".

So many things about this router are inconsistant.
