Access MTK over WEB (2 RB's on the same subnet)

RouterOS General

Hi everyone. If this question has been answered somewhere please accept my apologies and show me. If not…

CASE
I have an ADSL connection (dynamic IP). On the ISP’s modem i have connected two RB951Ui 2HnD on different ports of course but on the same subnet - 192.168.2.X

What i did
Basically i am trying to access over the web the two RBs. So in every RB i have a script for DynDNS which informs the WAN IP every 15 mins. I also set up the firewall rule for the 8291 port of Winbox. So far so good.

The twist
The problem is that i want to be able to access over the web with Winbox, both of the RBs (since they are installed far apart from each other - So different hotspot users). Unfortunately the Netfaster ISP’s IAD router i am using, allows me to port forward the port 8291 only to one RB. So in the other RB must be forwarded another port i.e. 8290. Since that Winbox is using port 8291 how is it possible to overcome this problem?

So basically i am looking for a way to access with Winbox over the web two different RBs which are connected on the same router/subnet. Is is possible?

Thank you in advance.

The port forwarding on your modem should allow you to use different ports in income from internet. It should look something like:

destination port = 8291 to address = 192.168.2.x to port = 8291
destination port = 8292 to address = 192.168.2.x to port = 8291

So you request on two different ports.

If that is not the case, then change the winbox service port to something else. You can do that on /ip services

Caci thank you for your quick reply. Although i must tell you that i already did that. I created 2 port forwarding rules in the Netfaster router (one for 8290 and one for 8291) and also i changed in the RB under /IP services the port of the Winbox from 8291 to 8290. Despite that, when i am trying to connect with Winbox software over the web there is no option to choose port so the software tries to connect to 8291 and that is the problem. Sorry if i havent explain the situation before. Any ideas …?

Of course you can, just put in the connect window of winbox: 1.1.1.1:8290
