Actiontec Rev. F port forwarding - is filtering by IP possible?

I would like to know if Actiontect Rev. F router allows filtering by IP address for port forwarding (similar to Windows 7 firewall, Advanced Settings, "Scope" tab). That is I want only requests from specific external IP address to be allowed through.

  • Actiontec MI424WR rev I port forwarding issue.

    Within the last month, all of my wireless security cameras as well as my Directv DVR have stopped responding to remote access. All of the cameras work fine when directly connected to an e-net cable. I have checked all the settings on the router and they have not changed. I then tried to check the ports assigned to the cameras and found that they are all reported as CLOSED by two different internet port checkers. However, these same port checkers report eveything closed on this router., but my browser, email, remote desktop all work ok. Before I tear any more hair out, can some one have pity on an old fart and tell me what I have overlooked????

    I had a session with a VZW tech who in turn brought an Actiontec tech on the line. What we did was to delete all of the current camera rules and reinstall them. Everything now works. ????? 
    THe one remaining issue regards the port checkers that show all the well known ports closed. We never came up with an answer to that. But they are not stopping anything from working. One other item regarding the camera ports. If the camera is not on for some reason, then the port will show that it is closed...

    The prior firmware update for the Actiontec knocked out the automatic update  using DynamicDNS.
    The 10/31 update fixed the problem of updating DynamicDNS  however it seems to have done something to port forwarding. 
    Prior to the last two updates of the Actiontec's firmware I used to be able to run an FTP server on a USB drive connected to a router double NATed behind the Actiontec.    I was also able to remotely access certain devices using port forwarding from the Actiontec.   Not working anymore.
    Based on your problem I think it is a firmware issue with the Actiontec and there may be nothing that can be done until the next firmware update.

  • ActionTec + second router = port forwarding issue

    I'm having an issue with port forwarding (or maybe routing) across a pair of routers with different subnets. I know just enough about networking to be dangerous, but I can't figure this out. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable here can assist me.
    Here's how my network is currently setup:
    1) Standard FIOS ActionTec MI424-WR Rev D router, using default 192.168.1.* subnet.
    2) Added a second router (D-Link Wireless-N w/ Gigabit Ethernet) using the 192.168.2.* subnet.
    3) A patch cable connects an ActionTec LAN port to the D-Link WAN port. 
    4) Most of my computers connect to the D-Link router for faster network speeds (desktop PC, NAS, etc.)
    5) Both routers are running DHCP and broadcasting different SSIDs. This is so I can have a private network for my personal data (192.168.2.*) and a guest network (192.168.1.*) that friends/family/guests can use. Basically, from the 192.168.2.* network, I can access any network resource on either subnet; the 192.168.1.* network, however, cannot (easily) access the resources on the other subnet. 
    6) This setup works perfectly and has met all of my needs so far.
    Now, the problem I'm running into:
    I purchased a security camera to monitor my home over the internet while away. It is connected to the D-Link router and I can access the camera without issue while on the 192.168.2.* network. Everything works fine locally. However, I cannot access the camera from the internet.  For sake of ease, let's use the following example setup:
    Internet IP = 74.1.2.3
    Router 1 = 192.168.1.1
    Router 2 = 192.168.2.1
    Camera = 192.168.2.2
    Camera Port = 12345
    Accessing the camera locally via http://192.168.2.2:12345 works fine, but accessing it remotely via http://74.1.2.3:12345 does not. I assume a route or port forward needs to be set on Router 1 (the FIOS ActionTec)? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Patrick

    For future viewers, I will throw this out there. You don't normally want two routers with two port forward rules. The best practice is to give the second router a static ip on the lan of the first router and then put the second router in the dmz of the first router, and then apply port forward uses to the dmz'd router.

  • Wireless Webcam Port Forwarding

    Westell 327W ModemRouter/Wireless all-in-one.  3360 Kbits Verizon DSL service. Trendnet TV-IP501W wireless internet camera- computer can be turned off and camera will still work as long as it gets wireless from the Westell.  Westell "dslrouter" interface, verizon flavor, similar to Actiontec MI-424-WR.
    Set up camera fine on my side of the Westell- home network can see/use it fine.  I want to make it available out to the world so others can see it and so I can see it when away from home.  Right now I turn the Westell off at night and back on in the morning.
    Now, before we get into port forwarding issues, how could this possibly work since each time you turn on the Westell Verizon assigns you a different (dynamic) IP address?  Sure, in my house the camera, computers may get the same internal home network address but that won't work beyond my house.  Or, should you just never turn off the Westell so you have the same IP (static?) all the time?  What if power failure (OK, a UPS could alleviate that) or an interruption at Verizon's end?
    So, can someone enlighten me on the basic methodology first, before we get into port forwarding and my many trys at that- addl info will then be provided.
    Thanks in advance!

    You have to setup a free account on http://www.dyndns.com/ or other DNS site. Depends on the webcam you have but some have their own service for this, Dlink and Panasonic have this service in the setup.
    If you use any port other than 80 you will need to setup a webhop on http://www.dyndns.com/ . From past experience the Verizon modems block incoming port 80. I found that switching to a dlink DSL modem that 80 was not blocked. It must be in the Verizon firmware where they block port 80. My guess is you will not be able to use port 80.
    You will set your webhop up with the port number at the end like this http://www.yourdomain.org : port# The webhop works by making 2 domains with the first one forwarding to the second one that has the port number on it.

  • Port Forwarding for L2TP/IPSec VPN Behind Verizon Actiontec MI424WR-GEN2 Rev. E v20.21.0.2

    I've got a NAS setup with various services running on custom ports to help minimize exposure (especially to script kiddies). I've tested everything both internally and externally to confirm they all work, and even had someone at a remote location confirm accessibility as well.  Port forward configurations performed on the Actiontec are working well. 
    I installed an L2TP/IPSec VPN server, tested internally and it connected successfully.  So for all intents & purposes, this validates that the VPN server is correctly configured to accept inbound connections and functioning correctly.
    I logged into the Verizon Actiontec MI424WR router, setup port forwarding for UDP ports 500, 1701 & 4500.
    Note: I added the AH & ESP protocols based on what I saw on the built-in L2TP/IPSec rules
    With the port forwarding in place, I tested VPN externally but it didn't connect.
    I've done the following so far to no avail:
    Double & triple checked the port forwards, deleted & recreated the rules a few times to be sure
    There are no other pre-existing L2RP/IPSec port forward rules or otherwise conflicting port forward rules (e.g.: another rule for ports 500, 1701 or 4500)
    There was an L2TP port triggering rule enabled, that I toggled on and off with no change
    Verified the firewall on VPN server had an exclusion for L2TP, or that the firewall is off. (Firewall is off to reduce a layer of complexity, but it worked internally to begin with so I doubt that's the issue.)
    Since it works internally, and there are no entries in the logs on the device indicating inbound connections, I'm convinced its an issue with the Verizon Actiontec router.  But unfortunately, I'm not sure what else to try or where else to look to troubleshoot this.  For instance, is there a log on the router that I can view in real time (e.g.: tail) that would show me whether or not the inbound connection attempt is reaching the device, and whether or not the device allowed or blocked it?
    My router details:
    Verizon Actiontec
    MI424WR-GEN2
    Revision E
    Firmware 20.21.0.2
    Verizon Actiontec built-in L2TP/IPSec rule templates.  They're not currently in use, but are baked into the firmware for easy configuration/selection from a drop down menu.

    I know the preconfigured VPN rules will do the GRE protocol as well, but if you do it by hand you can't get it.

  • ?? How to set up actiontec MI242wr rev F router to accomodate Static IP addresses, port forwarding?

    I just got a new Verizon/Actiontec replacement router and I want to configure 4 or 5 static IP addresses beginning at 192.168.1.201  and above.
    At this point, I have changed the DHCP range from 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.250, to  192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.200, so that is now the DHCP pool.  That presumably leaves anything above 192.168.1.200 open for static IP assignments.
    a) So now  how do I create a Static IP reservation for a device? (what router screens should I use? do the device(s) that I want a static IP have to be connected?, etc.)
    b) Once I have the static IP address reserved/configured, how can I make the appropriate port forward rule(s) for the devices?  Specifically, I want to allow SSH connections to each of the static IP addresses/devices.
    (I tried this once but the router complained after I made the first port forwarding rule saying that it was already in use!?!? and I want to avoid this problem again).
    Thanks
    -J

    thanks for your suggestion.  I figured out what to do...I let each device receive an address by DHCP, and then in the router, I went to Advanced -> Connections, double clicked on the device to get more details and  set  the "Static Lease" check box.
    What this does is a address reservation for the device, but still configures it via DHCP.
    It would be nice if the router manual noted this small detail, that devices can be configured as having a static address 'reservation' that is administered by the DHCP service, OR, one can set a 'static IP address' by ensuring that the device address is outside of the DHCP pool. 

  • ActionTec MI424WR / Port Forwarding

    I consider myself pretty tech savvy.  I've configured plenty of Cisco PIX routers so I have some experience.  But for the life of me, I can't get ANY port forwarding working.  I have an ActionTec MI424-WR Rev D router with firmware 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.11.6.  I've read the manual, I've configured port forwarding.  But no matter what port I choose, it never shows as open.  I've called ActionTec twice and they walked me through the steps, which were identical to what I did, and no matter what, the ports are not forwarding.  They appear to be blocked somewhere. 
    I do not have a second router.  The FIOS comes into the ActionTec router and then two of my computers are connected as part of a network.  I am trying to set up a SSH tunnel to one of my home computers.  I've tried the standard port 22, and a bunch of non-standard ports.  I've even tried to get RDP working on 3389 and no joy.  The port forwarding is setup, I've tried medium and low security on the firewall.  From other computers on the network, I can telnet to port 22 using both ip address and dns name and I get my OpenSSH screen.  But it's not availble from outside.  I have tried it with Windows firewall (XP) both on with exceptions and off.  Still no joy.
    I have read that people all over are doing this, but it isn't working for me.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be wrong or how to diagnose the problem?  Shields Up says my ports are stealthed.  CanyouSeeMe.org sometimes says connection denied and sometimes says connection timeout.  I don't know what else to try.
    Anyone?

    Okay, problem is partially solved.  I installed CopSSH on my other computer, edited the port forwarding to point to the other computer, and it works.  I never suspected my own computer was the problem.  The question is why?  The only firewall on my computer is Windows firewall (XP), which I've created exceptions for and even tried disabling.  I still wasn't able to access the port.  So something on my machine is blocking ports but I have no idea what.  Does anyone have any ideas where to look?  I turned off Windows Defender and Symantec AV but that didn't help (and then turned them back on).
    TIA for any help

    Why don't you just add a web site on port 8181 on 192.168.nnn.nn2 and then change your port forwarding to tcpany to 8181
    then build a link from website 8181 to website 80

  • Port Forwarding on MI424WR Rev.C

    You have it backwards
    On the router.
    It should say source port ANY destination port 27015 and you need to specify a target ip address
    You do not need to shut off firewall

  • Port Forwarding, MI424WR

    I'm not even sure I'll give enough information here, because I don't really know what I'm talking about.  However, I've been working with a couple of "technical" people from my office.
    Essentially, I'm trying to connect two devices (Yamaha Disklavier Pianos) over my FIOS connection (for a process called Remote Lesson) and need to utilize port forwarding.  I've tried the instructions on the www.actiontec.com website (Basic Port Forwarding on the MI424WR Verion Fios Router), but have been unable to connect successfully.
    Basically, here's the two things I need to do (cut and pasted from a technical document draft).  Can someone please advise what might be going wrong?   I could also forward the entire "connection" document to someone who might want to take a look at it and get a clearer picture.
    At any rate, here are steps 2 and 3 of the process we're trying to do:
    2. Port Forwarding for Remote Lesson (WAN to LAN)                                    
    - Port 58092 is used in both TCP and UDP by default.                                      
            - Note: You can choose any port unless it has already used.                            
    - Please configure a system to forward the access of this port to Disklavier.    
    3. Release of the port to the Internet (LAN to WAN)                                      
    - If the access of port 58092 is filtered, please release this port in both TCP and UDP.                    
             Note: If your partner has configured another port number, please release that port in both TCP and UDP.      
                                                                  Port setting table
    PORT FORWARDING (WAN TO LAN):  IP Address (original LAN Address)
                                                                    Port Number (origin)
                                                                    Protocol:  Both TCP and UDP
    RELEASE OF THE PORT (LAN TO WAN): Port Number:  Destination or all
                                                                         Protocol:  Both TCP and UDP                  
    Thanks for being patient with a "newbie" - I hope someone can help.

    If you're only trying to connect the 2 devices within your local lan you do not need to do anything with port forwarding.  You would only need to add port forwarding rules if you are going to access the devices from remote sites.
    The below addresses step 2 of your question.
    Step 3 of your question is not needed as the actiontec does not block any port access from the LAN to the WAN
    Step 2  allowing wan to lan access
    If you are doing the latter then you would want to give the device fixed ip addresses, make sure they are out of the dhcp range of the actiontec router.
    Then go to firewall setting
    Select Port Forwarding tab
    Select New Entry
    add the IP address of the device in the Local Host field
    Make sure Forward to Port is set as Same as incoming Port
    Make sure Schedule is set as Always
    Under protocols Select User defined
    Make the service name whatever you want - e.g Piano
    Select new server ports
    Under protocols Select TCP
    Under source port select single
    enter 58092
    Make sure destination port saya Any
    Hit OK
    Select New server ports again and repeat the last five steps for protocol UDP
    then say OK
    Say OK to the Edit port Forwarding rule
    Now you should be able to access the device from the outside WAN

  • I will Paypal you $100 if you can resolve this Port Forward problem

    Believe me when I tell you, If you are the person who fixes this problem, I will GLADLY Paypal you $100.
    This is so unbelievable. Short story is, after 12 hours of paid support through Support RIX, 6 hours with TWC support, and 4  different modems there isn't a single person in these groups that can get ports forwarded on my Linksys E4200 router.
    I am running a fresh copy of windows 7 with all updates and no anti virus installed. I purchased a Motorola ARRIS SURFboard modem 200 series DOCSIS 3.0 so I have no double router issues. Before I was using the TWC moden/routers in bridge mode.
    I have no problem setting a static IP or configuring port forwarding. It doesn't matter if I have windows firewall on or off. I can't get an outside port checking website that can verify an open port.
    I am trying to play Battlefield 4 using the port forwarding request they provide.
    If I run a local port check program on my computer it will confirm the ports open. Ok, Fair enough. They tell me the outside port checking utilities will say the port is closed unless I am running the program that uses these open ports.
    SO I run the game and check and it always says port closed. One of the ports I want to open is 80. It has to be open to get internet anyway but it still shows closed using the online port checking websites. 
    I connected the computer to the modem. No router. I keep getting ports closed or filtered when I check through 6 different port checking sites. Leads me to think their is some kind of block in the ethernet card software.
    Its a Realtek PCIe GBE Family controller with a driver date of 8/26/2014. Latest one I could find.

    I used a port tester downloaded from PCWinTech.com v3.0.0. It says the ports are open. When I close port 80 it says port 80 is closed. My problem is nothing outside my network can confirm an open port. It always states port closed.
    The game I am playing is Battlefield-4. I have played all of the campigns without any problem but once online it crashes. The BF-4 community says I need to open 5 single ports and 5 port ranges. This is what I am trying to do.
    We have tried an ARRIS router modem, a Ubee router modem (both in bridge mode) and are now using a motorola modem. All with the same problem. We checked the ports during game play and they all say closed.
    I will post pictures of my current router settings.

    What model router do you have?
    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What region are you located?
    What is your current model ISP modem your using now? 
    What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
    Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
    Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.

    Router and Wired Configurations
    Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
    Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
    If http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only.
    If you set up port forwarding, disable uPnP and test. 
    When you check for port status, you have to be actively using the port before you scan check as you may get a false negative if your not using the port. If your using the port then check the status, you should get an accurate result. 
    I would try using Port Range Triggering instead of PF and set up the port as follows for your PC that your gaming with:
    0 thru 65535. A bit less hassle to set up then all those different port rules. 
    PC 3rd Party Security Software Configurations
    Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
    Turn off all devices accept for one wired LAN PC while testing.
    Disable any downloading client software managers, i.e. Torrents or similar.

  • Is Actiontec Rev F better than Rev E for 801.11b/g?

    My area only has 20/5, so getting a 801.11n router (such as Actiontec Rev F or Rev G) is not going to change the internet speed, at least on paper.
    But, today, I borrowed a friend's 802.11n router and had it piggybacked on my Actiontec Rev E. Surprise, surprise. Using speedtest.net, I could clearly see a boost in the download speed of about 30~50%!  So while my 20/5 package is too slow to accommodate a 801.11n protocol, at least it looks like I can gain siginificant speed by getting a different router.  
    So, is Actiontec Rev F going to deliver such speed boost in Wifi?  Does Verizon let you change your routers? (At least they make you pay for Actiontec Rev G, but all I'm looking to do is to upgrade to Rev F for now.)

    we've had bad luck getting upgrades to routers.  they do a like for like return exchange thing.  people have gone through endless hours and frustration trying to circumvent that process with limited success.   
    It's probably better to look on ebay for a REV I or buy one from verizon.  It is dual antenna, True wireless N (not pre-n) and has gigabit ethernet ports.

  • Port forwarding

    wondering if anyone could walk me through port forwarding on a westell e90 610015-06 router. I am trying to set up  TCP and UDP for a P2P program(e-mule). After several attempts i can't seem to set it up. Thanks!

    Here is what I have set up
    Services:
    1. imapssl_993t_in all 993
    2. imapssl_993t_out 993 all
    Exceptions
    1. imapssl_993t_in Public Any Public PUBLIC_IP_OF_BM_SERVER (I only want it coming in on this address)
    2. imapssl_993t_out Public PUBLIC_IP_OF_BM_SERVER Public Any
    Proxy - Generic TCP
    original (internal_ip_of_imap_server) port:993 Proxy address: PUBLIC_IP_OF_BM_SERVER port:993
    Access rule
    Very generic, just allow original port with value of 993.

    I am trying to setup this at the moment, yet for IMAP access from
    outside to internally. I don't want to hijack the thread, yet someone
    might be able to help us both.
    I have setup the generic tcp proxy under the BM Server in Imanager and
    setup the private address and public proxy address with the port numbers
    I want. I also allowed a filter exception from all interfaces to public
    and allow the destination as the BM public address, but this still won't
    work for me,
    Is there something I am missing? I have tried it with the filters down,
    but it doesn't seem to be doing the mapping.
    Many thanks,
    Anthony
