How to SSH into Machine Connected to eero WiFi
Hi,
I am trying to SSH from my Ubuntu desktop (which is connected via wired Ethernet to my Verizon Fios router) to my Ubuntu laptop (which is connect to my eero WiFi). The eero devices are also connected to my Verizon Fios router via wired Ethernet.
The local IP address of my laptop, which I am trying to SSH into, is 192.168.7.137. I don't have any firewalls running. I have selected port 22 for SSH and have enabled password authentication in /etc/ssh/sshd.config. Additional details about my laptop can be found here.
When I try to SSH into my laptop from my desktop, I get:
desktop:~$ ssh -vvv samir@192.168.7.137 OpenSSH_8.9p1 Ubuntu-3ubuntu0.1, OpenSSL 3.0.2 15 Mar 2022 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/samir/.ssh/config debug1: /home/samir/.ssh/config line 6: Applying options for * debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: include /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/*.conf matched no files debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 21: Applying options for * debug2: resolve_canonicalize: hostname 192.168.7.137 is address debug3: expanded UserKnownHostsFile '~/.ssh/known_hosts' -> '/home/samir/.ssh/known_hosts' debug3: expanded UserKnownHostsFile '~/.ssh/known_hosts2' -> '/home/samir/.ssh/known_hosts2' debug3: ssh_connect_direct: entering debug1: Connecting to 192.168.7.137 [192.168.7.137] port 22. debug3: set_sock_tos: set socket 3 IP_TOS 0x10 debug1: connect to address 192.168.7.137 port 22: Connection timed out ssh: connect to host 192.168.7.137 port 22: Connection timed out
In the eero app, which controls the wifi that the laptop I'm trying to SSH into is on, I have it set to "Automatic" in the "DHCP & NAT" settings. Also, under "Reservations and Port Forwarding", I have an IPv4 reservation for IP address 192.168.7.137 with port 22.
I'm not familiar with port forwarding so this may be an issue but I don't know what else to try. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Samir

You don’t need port forwarding. What you need to do is either put your eero into “Bridge” mode, or connect your desktop into one of your eeros instead of the FIOS gateway.
