Method to sync reading position from calibre to android reader with sd card?

[maguiar]

Whats the method to use an sd card or usb to usb-c flashdrive to sync reading position and bookmarks from calibre on desktop to my android phone? will calibre go work for this? Currently using moonreader pro as my android reader. After much research, i found my isp router has port forwarding blocked and cant use the CC content server option to sync wirelessly.

You only need Port Forwarding +IF+ you do it from outside you LAN.
You do need to specify (in the Moon app:net Library:Add you Calibre Host) the IPort of the Calibre host
eg 192.168.0.16:8080

Yeah I tried all that with moonreader pro and calibre companion, it says connect to 192.168.X.XX:8080 timed out on moonreader. I tried turning off my windows defender, antivirus, unplugging all usb devices, turning on desktop in safe mode. My router model is 5268ac.

You did start the Server?
I did test with my TAB A
(I had been using CC, but for you , I configured a Moon Net device AND IT WORKED.

Is the Host ALSO WiFi?
The router needs to allow same WiFi peer connections AND some need to use the same Band (eg 2.4GHz or 5GHz).

Ive started the server and attempted with other devices to connect. I appreciate your help with this but im past this point and would like to return to my original question with doing this through sd card or usb to usbc flash drive.

There is no way to do that. You will ned to use the content server and the in browser calibre viewer if you want to sync reading positions between calibre desktop and various devices.

I think my problem is with my ISP provided modem ATT pace 5268AC. When I go to local host url on host machine I am able to open up the Calibre webserver. Ive attempted running calibre on a different windows machine but i still cant connect to that machines webserver either. I dont receive a ping back when attempting to ping on LAN network from neither.

I happen to have the Manual for that router (must have come in contact with that model at some time). I keep my Manuals in Calibre
At your PC: Open a browser:
type 192.168.1.254 into the address bar.
OR
http://gateway.pace.com

(the password is printed on the label) DO NOT EVER POST that

That should allow configuration (Be careful , write down any changes and keep those safe)
