[ale] 2Qs: Google mesh and NAT'd Ring doorbells?

[Derek Atkins]

HI,

Have you tested from both inside the house and outside the house?

If all else fails, can't you put either the mesh or the firewall into
bridge mode?  Although it does appear that Google Mesh does not support
that, so you might need to live with double NAT depending on your network
architecture.
