HTTPS Port Forwarding Problems

I just got a static ip for my toob service so that I can access docker containers on my raspberry pi while away from home (mainly for home assistant). The raspi has a static local ip and is hosting a docker container for nginx proxy manager. The NPM container is set up to use 8081 for http and 8443 for https:

    ports:
      # Public HTTP Port:
      - 8081:80
      # Public HTTPS Port:
      - 8443:443

I have set up 2 single port forward rules on the toob supplied linksys wifi 6 router to forward to the raspi local ip

  • 80 -> 8081
  • 443 -> 8443

If I browse to http://mystaticip I get the NPM welcome message, but if I browse to https://mystaticip it seems to direct me to a linksys dynamic login page (although no login box is shown, just a blank page with linksys EULA, TOS etc links).

I've tried disabling https local management access on the router just in case its something to do with that but no dice. It seems that for some reason the 443 port forward rule isn't being respected? Has anyone else ran into a similar problem?

Switching from 1gb to 2gb

I have about 4 months left on my 2 year contract with Toob on 1gb. I’ve reached out to them with no reply, but has anyone been able to switch whilst still in contract?

I’m happy to switch and add the remaining 4 months on to another 2 year, or just start a new contract from now.

I’ll give them a call eventually but not in a major rush so wanted to check if it’s worth my time before I waited in line..

Swapped the 2300 bundle last week. Its not going great.

So I swapped over and immediately noticed that I am getting quite bad latency issues. Toob are suggesting paying them more money so I can get a static IP to try fix this issue. Is there anything else I can do to try and sort this? I have read about bufferbloat and done a test, it shows mine as only a score of C which isn't great.

If I am playing something my inputs are not going through due to the latency. I really want a solution. I am hoping its not static ip / buy an expensive router.

Double nat (xbox)

I can't seem to get an open nat type today on my xbox. Has toob done something?

I have used port forwarding to open ports that xbox uses. After doing that i have had no problems getting an open nat type when i test nat type in the xbox settings. Today though it refuses to change to open. Not sure what i can do. Any suggestions, rather not pay extra for static ip.

Alternatives to Toob recommendations? £37 a month currently with static IP

I'm on 900 up and down, with static IP.

Paying £37 a month :(

Trying to find something cheaper on CityFibre network, that also offers static IP, and doesn't have awful customer service.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Moving from the latest WiFi 7 Toob mesh to an ASUS mesh setup.

This is a bit of a long post, but I just thought I'd make it in case anyone else was debating moving from their Toob supplied router to something they own outright. To help build the picture, I live in a Victorian terraced house (think chunky walls).

I recently joined Toob via their latest 2.3GB offer, as it would work out cheaper than what I was paying at Zen, and I would be getting more than double the bandwidth, so it was a win win!

I received the latest Toob Linksys WiFi 7 router, and instead of signing up for the whole home WiFi package, I thought i'd purchase individual Velop 7 Micro's from Amazon instead.

So I now had a setup consisting of the main Toob router, and two Velop 7 Micro's dotted around the house in strategic locations in a mesh format. And the end result was... meh.

It wasn't bad by any means, I would get c.900Mbps standing directly next to the main router via my Pixel 8, and a decent 4-500Mbps at my computer (connected to a micro node via ethernet), which was located upstairs, blocked by a wall and a floor.

The latency was good and the initial bloatware test showed decent results. However, I did begin to notice random dropouts, where I believe devices were trying to jump between nodes, and the download speed was 'shaky' in the respect that when running a speed test it struggled to maintain a set speed and would rebound up and down 100Mbps give or take. And finally the Linksys router settings page and app were kind of crap to be honest, not helped by Toobs limitations they've placed on it.

I recently made a post about MLO (Multi-Link Operation), and one of the commentators mentioned they had an ASUS BQ16 Pro setup, which was allowing them to get incredible speeds even upstairs and through some walls.

So I bit the bullet and for the first ever I purchased my own router pack, the ASUS BQ16 dual pack (non-Pro). It was £750 on Amazon, which admittedly is bloody expensive, but in my mind I'm going to own it outright and I imagine it will serve me faithfully for many years to come.

The router and node arrived and first impressions are that they mean serious business... the packaging is intricate with it almost folding out like a flower when you open it, and the devices themselves are sturdy, have real weight to them, and are visually very sleek.

Setting them up via the ASUS app was stupidly simple, and within 10 minutes I had the router and node connected via the AiMesh and ready to go. I had the main router in the front living room, and the node upstairs in the middle room, connected to my PC via ethernet.

The moment of truth had arrived and it was time to see if they were capable of beating the those thick Victorian walls and floors... and holy shit did they pull through. The attached photo is from the first speed test at my PC, smashed straight past anything the Toob setup could have dreamed of, peaking at over 2.25GB, which is around 5x faster than what I had before AND it's a completely stable speed with no fluctuations!! The bloatware test was stupidly good with it only increasing latency by 11ms on average when under load.

Coverage around the house is impeccable, and even sat outside, which is around 4 walls, furniture and electronics away, it's still peaking at c.300Mbps on my phone.

Using my PC as the benchmark, the setup lineup is looking like this.

  1. FRITZ!Box Mesh (Zen) - 300-400Mbps

  2. Linksys Mesh (Toob) - 400-500Mbps

  3. ASUS BQ16 Mesh (Toob) - Consistent 2,200Mbps

So, yes it's a very expensive setup, but damn you don't half get your money's worth, and I own it outright! I won't touch on the ASUS app and router settings, but as you would expect, they are very very good.

Overall, if you want the absolute most from the broadband that you are paying for, it's probably time to look into a non-ISP supplied router and setup.

(This is only relevant to my own experience and your mileage in your own home might vary greatly!)

Anyone with this IP 145.40.129.182?

I am having trouble with the following websites. They all time out in a browser. After a lot of investigation and working with Toob and AI I want to rule out that my CGNAT (shared) IP has not been banned.

If other users on the shared IP 145.40.129.182 also get timeouts, that would be strong proof that the IP has been banned.

MLO (Multi-Link Operation)

I've recently switched over to Toob and have their new Linksys Velop 7 router, I've been going through the settings and noticed the MLO option.

Has anyone used this with success? If I remember rightly the tech is still very 'recent' and the implementation of it in consumer devices is as minimal as it gets.

Interested to hear any thoughts. :)

Any toob users in Coventry area?

Interested in the install and service your getting ?

Will they route it to the place you want it? My VM line is in the wrong place and city fibre is right next to the incoming spot on the road.

Any info would be great 👍
