Port forwarding problems with WRT610N v2 + WAG54GS v1.0

Background:
I have a WAG54GS v1.0 (Annex A) which I was using to handle my home network and my ADSL connection. I bought a WRT610N v2 (which I'll refer to as the router) with the intention that it would replace the networking duties of the WAG54GS (which I'll call the modem), which would be relegated to just handling the Internet connection. Both are running their latest firmware.
I've gotten this configuration to work, but with one problem: I've lost a lot of flexibility in regard to port forwarding. The problem is that the only way I've managed to get the Internet to work is by having the router on 192.168.0.1, and the modem on 192.168.1.1. If I try and have both on 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x then connecting to the Internet no longer works under any configuration of options I've tried.
What this means is that when I go to setup port forwarding in the modem, I can only forwards to clients on 192.168.1.x, but the router can only forward to 192.168.0.x. The only things I can get to work are situations where port range triggering can be applied, so only when a connection is made on the relevant port to an external IP, and then that external IP also communicates back on that port. As you may guess this doesn't nearly cover all cases.
Question:
Should it be be possible to have both router and modem on either 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x, which would allow port forwarding to work as expected. That should have in theory been possible with the modem's bridge mode except that it's then impossible to configure the PPPoA settings necessary to connect to my ISP.
Or am I going to have to rethink the network layout (i.e. buy a dedicated ADSL modem and fully retire my WAG54GS?)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Actually in the end what I figured out was that as far as my WRT610N was concerned my WAG54GS was my ISP, and that was all it needed to know about the Internet connection. So I set it to connect to the WAG54GS with a static IP, stuck that IP into the WAG54GS's DMZ, and left the WRT610N to handle port forwarding as all devices that connect will do so through that. (Yes, I've disabled the wireless features of the WAG54GS)
I'm reasonably sure I tried the combination of settings you've suggested (including moving the WAG54GS off the Internet port of the WRT610N, which I would have wanted to avoid anyway as I have four permanently connected devices anyway) and found it still wouldn't work. And I wasn't trying to set both to 192.168.1.1 at any point, my self-obscured point was that changing only the last block of the IP address failed to work for accessing the Internet.

Port Forwarding Issues with Westell a 7500

I'm having troubles getting port forwarding to work on my Westell 7500 router. I have used the instructions provided at http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Networking/Troubleshooting/PortForwarding/123866....
Having set up my own port forward I had my aplication test the port and I was told it was closed. Then I went to a third party web based port testing site (http://www.canyouseeme.org/) to confirm that the port was indeed closed and not just a problem with my aplication. The site told me that the port was closed.
So I decided to try one of the pre-created port forwards included with the modem. Using the port number provided I changed the port my aplication used and it still self-tested as closed. I then went back to canyouseeme and it too told me that the port was closed.
I should also note that in the "Port Forwarding" screen on the router the delete icon (I'm assuming that is what it is - the icon has a red X through it) does not respond to being clicked on. When I hover the mouse over the icon I get the following text overlay in the bottom left corner of the Chrome browser window - javascript&colon;deleteEntryStart(5,document.TableMgr,0);
To sum up, neither a personal nor a pre-fab port forward show in tests to be working and a function also appears to be not working.
Here's the rub - I am told by tech support that this is an L3 issue. L3 issues are not covered under regular tech support and are very expensive buy. My gut feeling is that the router is defective, but I need some way to confirm this before I start making a stink with customer service. I don't want to spend $39.00 to be told my router is broken before I can send it in and I have a feeling that customer service is going to want to have solid evidence that the problem is not pilot error before ponying up for a replacement modem.
Does anyone have any suggestions for testing the router more thouroughly? Is this a known issue? Or does anyone have any suggestions about programming the port forward?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to address this!

Go to Solution.

If I am not mistaken, the firewall in the router must be at least low.
Otherwise, it will ignore all rules (or something along that line).

WRT320N port forwarding problem

Hi, I've got a web server on my NAS, with my old WRT54G I didn't have any issue with port forwarding but with my new WRT320N I can't get it working (I tried single and port range). My website is ok if I try to access from LAN but not from internet. I have seen http://routersetup.blogspot.com/2007/08/port-forwarding-checklist.html but there's nothing wrong in my conf. Is anyone can help me ?

Oh it was quite simple, my NAS is a QNAP TS-109 II, I just selected high level of security in system administration > security, with that I had limited the access to 192.168.1.x network. Not a surpise I couldn't reach it from internet.
I don't think the info will help someone but it might be a reminder that you always have to look to your own configuration when you blame hardware

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 think its an ethernet card filter. Just my thoughts. Here is the current adapter card settings.

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.

Port Mapping Problem with AEX

I have a new Airport Extreme and a problem that did not exist with the Airport. I connect a Toshiba network camera to an Airport Express, set as a WDS remote, with the netcam connected to the wired ethernet port of the Express. I can see the netcam, which also functions as a web server, on the internal 10.x.x.x address, and have reserved a discrete 10.x.x.x address via the MAC/DHCP reservation function of the Extreme. Just like the older Airport which did this without a hiccup, I should be able to map a port (e.g. 1200) on the public IP to port 80 of the internal 10.x.x.x address, then access the netcam on the internal network from any browser (http://67.x.x.x:1200). My cable modem is just that: no router involved other than the Airport Extreme. I'm using the latest Extreme and Express firmware, and am either missing something with the new Leopard firewall, overlooking something else, or dealing with a product flaw. Any help is appreciated and Happy Holidays.

I have forwarded the port (have tried several different ports actually) in what I think it the correct way: using the Airport Utility, connected to the Airport Extreme, and, under advanced options, selected port mapping, entered the public TCP port of 1200, then the private 10.x.x.x IP address of the netcam (which I can access from the internal network with no problem), coupled with the private TCP port of 80. I then attempt to access the netcam from the Internet by entering http://my cable modem IP address:1200 (or another port to which I've attempted to map). This method worked for two years with the Airport, but, with the Extreme and Leopard (simultaneous transition), I'm stumped. After reading other about other port mapping problems, I reserved an IP address for the netcam based on its MAC with no positive results. I also set the firewall through the Security icon in System Preferences to allow all incoming connections. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

AirPort Extreme port forwarding, problems occurring. Please help.

Yesterday I discovered the game I have been playing allows for home servers. We are allowed to host our own game server for other people to join and play along. This game uses ports: UDP 19132 and TCP 19132 (which I think is optional, but UDP is defiantly needed) to host a server at home. We are paired with Comcast internet, using an AirPort Extreme (latest firmware) router with airport utility (latest firmware) on an iMac (1 generation behind I think).
Now the problem:
- I want to host this game server on my laptop! Not the iMac!
- The laptop uses Ubuntu and the brand is HP. It is connected wirelessly to my AirPort Extreme router. Now since it is not connected directly to the router, and is not an apple product I am not able to change the router settings from my laptop (I can deal with this, I'll just go downstairs and change the settings on the iMac).
- Yesterday I went into AirPort Utility. I proceeded to click 'Edit' on the router picture in airPort Utility. Then I went to the tab where you can reserve a dchp or port forward. I added a new port aimed at: UDP public: 19132 ; TCP public: 19132 ; Private IP: 1.0.1.201 ; UDP private: 19132 ; TCP private: 19132 (I did not mess with the 'reserve dchp' setting). Then I went to my laptop and used a VPN to test out the connectivity of the port and server. Sadly I couldn't connect to my server it didn't work. I then deleted the port since it didn't work.
- Today I did exactly what I did yesterday, except... I reserved a dchp for my laptop (keep in mind I had no idea what I was doing and i still dont) using its hardware mac adress. I also named the dchp reserve: mylaptop. Then i restarted the router, went to port checking websites and they still said my external ip had port 19132 closed.
- I know for sure it's not my server or it's properties.
FYI: I used multiple port checker websites after completing my port forwarding, each and everyone of those sites said my external IP address has port 19132 closed when obviously I opened them. I also tried to bridge my linksys wrt54gsv4 router to my AirPort Extreme router and tried to port from the router menu of the linksys router. That ultimately failed.
Please help, thank you for reading all of this.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. Paid so much money just to have it connected to the playstation but its not letting me do that.
I have a 60gb Playstation 3 not a Xbox 360, so it comes with wifi.
I have been trying this non stop and about to give up. I hae been following what the playstation manual says. Its telling me to scan for access points but everytime I do this, it just has SSID: default, Security: none, Signal Strength: 45%.
I dont understand this cos I named my SSID as Garcia Home which shows on my mac and it also has full bars for the airport on my menu bar. The playstation is located in the room next to mine so it can't be 35-40% only for signal strength.

WRT160Nv3 port forwarding problem

Just bought a WRT160Nv3 and installed it.
everything is working fine, but the Port Forwarding. I need to forward port 80 to an internal static IP.
I set up Single port forwarding for http -port 80 to destination static ip 192.160.x.x and enabled the setting, saved it.
I have static internet IP.
So I accessed the server with http://192.160.x.x and it works. I accessed the server with http://internet_ip from the Linksys's internal network and it works.
I tried to access http://internet_ip from other locations, and it is not working.
I enabled remote web administration on port 8080, and that works from every location... So the connection from internet to the router is OK, but it does not forward the port to the local static IP.
I tried enable/disable DMZ and uPNP but nothing changed.
Router firmware:v3.0.02
Please help me solve this issue. I'm out of ideas

I tired to forward port 8888 to 192.168.0.x:80 but still doesn't work.
I cannot change port 80 on the ip cam (it has a very limited interface).
But I can access the camera from a local computer with the http://192.168.0.x AND with the internet IP too http://internet_ip (port 80 forwarded on the router) from the same computer.
I still cannot access it from the internet (other locations). What could be the problem. I set up a lot of linksys routers but this is the first time I have problems with port forwarding.
I removed http management for both local and remote to be sure that the router does not use the port 80, but no change.
I tried to access it within other browsers, computers, but no luck...

Forwarding Problem with RVS4000

I am the proud owner of 2 Small Business RVS4000 4-Port Gigabit Security Router with VPN , that I bought together about 4 months ago.
My First Job was to upgrade Firmware to Version V1.3.2.0. It is then that I found out that there is a Version 2 of this particular router, I however own version 1 (both of the I am sure of it).
My original intention was to setup one router in my office and one at home and create a vpn tunnel between them.
I never got that far.
I installed one of the routers at home on a small network that has only 1 server running linux on it and it goes out using a dedicated connection to the Internet ( By dedicated I mean nothing to do with my home network or Internet connection, essentially a separate line).
I connceted the router to the modem, (dummied my modem), bridged them and connected to the internet without a problem.
I enabled remote admin on the router and was happy that I could enter the RVS4000's admin pages through my other home Internet connection (essentially remotely, since that meant that I would be able to do it from my office too). My next step was to forward port 80 to the Linux server so as to see that I could access the server from a web browser ( i am running an Apache server on that machine). I also forwarded port 22 to the same address so that I could later ssh into my system.
This is my problem. Portforwarding does not seem to work. I tried to forward single ports at first, no luck. I tried to forward ranges then, no luck. Then I started reading about it online and started disabling Firewalls, IPS, DoS, and pretty much anything that might have anything that could block my ports.
Failing miserably I read somewhere that maybe I botched the firmware update, so I redid that, and rest factory settings. No luck.
Then I decided to try with the second router, and repeated the above process. No luck.
Trying port forwarding on my sever with a simple DSL modem provided by my ISP everything seem to work fine, so it is not a problem of the server. Just to be on the safe side I tried connecting a laptop running an Apache server on windows 7 and forwarding the ports to that machine and naturally found no joy.
Now I am stuck with 2 very nice Small Business RVS4000 4-Port Gigabit Security Router with VPN that I cannot even see my server through so I have not bothered trying its VPN.
I would love any help on this matter. I am absolutely stumped .
Yours thankfully

You need to change "TCP" to lower case "tcp", this will make it work.

HT1552 Port Forwarding Problem

I got a problem with my apple time capsule. I'm running a minecraft server and I want to port forward on the time capsule. The program I'm using is called Port Map link : http://www.codingmonkeys.de/portmap/. It stands Router incompatible. I want so badly to port forward, but my time capsule is missing DHCP end and beginnig code I'm norwegian som my engelish is a lilltle bitt rusty

Are you actually running your TC as a router? If not the screen for port forwarding will not appear.
Some things are easier to do on your main modem if it is also a router.. and just bridge the TC.
That is what I would tend to advise unless the TC is the only router available in the network.

Hr200 port forwarding problem

I have a problem - when i follow all the 'correct' procedures for setting up port forwarding on this router when i chose to save the settings the port numbers change - to irrelevant things
whatever port i use
often displays start 0
and end 4294967295
also seen it refresh the page on save with 256 start and 255 end, and start 1 end 0.... which are also just nonsense
i really dont understand what i have done wrong or if there is something wrong with my router (it has the latest firmware version as it is quite new) - i have tried with static i.p inside 192.168.1.100 - 149 and also outside that range with the same results???
has anyone come accross this problem?

Hi… Here the screenshot for the Port Range Forwarding for you router. Login to this router with its IP address (default IP 192.168.1.1) in IE and setup the port forwarding. On the setup page, click on gaming and administration under which you will find port range forwarding..... Also make sure that port range should not be in reverse order like 1 to 0 ... it should be like 0-1 ... You need to assign a static IP address on the computer for which you want to forward the ports. You cannot forward the same port for more than one computer. In that case you can use port triggering. Port Forwarding is used when you host any service from that computer. Port Triggering is used when you access any service on the computers behind the router.

IChat, Port Forwarding Problems, Choppy Audio and Video

Hello everyone. I hope someone can help me... been trying to fix this for a few weeks with no luck.
I have been trying video chat my friend through iChat. This has worked in the past no problem. She has a MacBook and I a MacBook Pro. Just recently, I upgraded her computer to snow leopard (I am already running it)
We are having a problem with the quality of audio and video. She says that she can here and see me fine however on my side the audio is very choppy and the picture is extremely pixelated. This worked fine in the past but now is not working.
I have set a static IP on my computer and have forwarded all the necessary ports for it to work. I have also tried changed the port under iChat's setting to fix it.
Does anyone have any idea what else this could be?

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
At here end she should go to the iChat Preferences > Video section and reduce the Bandwidth setting to 500kbps.
Once you have a stable Chat Open the Connection Doctor (Video menu) at both ends.
Then at one end at a time you should adjust the Setting upwards one step at a time to find out where and at what speed you have issues.
iChat 5 "sees" the Internet Speed you have differently from iChat 4 or earlier.
You are no longer capped (if you have a Fast Connection) to 1.5Mbps.
This may mean the speed differences between you are now in fact greater than they were before.
It seems at this point the mechanism in iChat to cope with this does not cope so well with these larger differences.

Problems with wrt610n and mac mini (MA206LL/A*)

i purchased a new wrt610n and one of the machines that is connected is a mac mini, 1.66 ghz intel core duo.
#ma2066/ll/a for those who want to compare notes. the computer is stock with the 802.11g wireless card
that came with the machine. it is running the current software and all the updates are up to date.
i am using wpa 2 personal w / aes
their is some kind of incompatibility or issue between the wrt610n and the mac mini.
either using the wireless connection OR connected directly to the router, web pages are very slow to load. sometimes it can take
up to 45 seconds for the mac mini to open up a webpage. for 45 seconds it is at 'contacting website'
when i try to run software update, i get a time out error -1001, make sure you can connect to the internet and try again.
hulu desktop is also running slow.
copying a file from the mac mini to a another computer over wifi averages about 1 mb/s
when i informed linksys about this problem, they took my phone number and said that a linksys technician / senior tech support employee
would call me back. that was a day or so ago. i asked if i can have any newer firmware, considering the latest is 5 months old.
i am considering returning this router, but i don't see a lot of good alternatives that have similar features. i have 21 days to return this. the restocking fee will be 15% i am also considering various 802.11n solutions for the mac mini, even including the dell 1500 wireless mini card, i heard it works as an airport card.
if i do get a different model router i would like external antennas.
my previous router was a 5 year old wrt54gs version 2.0, and it never had a problem with any of the computers with the network.
the trouble shooting steps involved changing the beacon to 75 and the mtu to something else, i forgot. it did not make a difference.
i moved the mini and connected it wired to the wrt610 and turned off the airport wireless card and there was no improvement.
when i disconnected the wrt610n and connected the mac mini directly to my dsl modem. the issues were suddenly gone.
theres some kind of problem with this particular unit. and i would like to hear from others who have solved this or are experiencing
the same probem

RV042 vpn&port forwarding problems

Hello,
I spent a few days trying to configure the RV042 router but I messed up. I need this router for VPN access on my site and Port Forwarding to an internal web server. Apparently very simple task, isn't it?
So:
1. PPTP is working fine but I need more than 5 concurrent accesses.
2. Quickvpn does not work when the DHCP server is checked and I can't access any computer from my lan. I have a DHCP server in my LAN but when I'm conected through Quickvpn I never reach it. In the log file there are messages like:
Connection refused - Policy violation TCP 169.254.x.x->192.168.1.2 (DHCP server from my lan)
3. On Setup > Forwarding I added a Port Range Forwarding for HTTP port 80 to an internal IP address (192.168.1.x). I although added a firewall access rule to allow traffic to Port 80 from any source interface and any source IP to 192.168.1.x.
From the internal LAN, using the WAN IP of the router, the Port forwarding works but not form the outside, though in the log file of the router it appears to work:
Connection Accepted TCP 208.64.252.230:33027->192.168.1.x:80 on ixp1
What could I have done wrong?
The router is configured with a static address as a gateway and it has the latest firmware 1.3.12.19-tm. The access rules are the default ones and the one I added.
Any help would be much apreciated.
Thanks.

Can't answer as to why QVPN fails when you enable DHCP on the router, but concidering your requirements it seems to be a moot point. So, you have a DHCP server on your network which I will guess is also running your Web service. If this is a Windows server does your current configuration allow you to enable PPTP on it? If so, that would solve the five user limit. You will need to turn off the PPTP server on the router and then forward port 1723 TCP to your server and you are done. As for your http access, remove any rule that you have in reference to "allow" port 80 connectivity to your web server. Not sure why but this tends to confuse the poor little things. Once you have verified that port 80 is active on the server via the LAN (which you already have) then you are done. If you are still not successful with the connection to the server from the WAN you may want to default the router and start over (lame I know).
*** SORRY, just noticed that you stated that you added a "port range" forwarding rule. Remove that, and configure a UPnP rule for the same server instead. Do not know why they call it that, they just do. This is the same as configuring a single port forward they just call it something different. So just port forward 80 tcp to your server on 192.168.1.x and you are done.

ThinkPad USB 3.0 dock network port has problems with our Cisco 6509 switch

We purchased a ThinkPad USB 3.0 dock for and X1 carbon and the main issue we are having is the network port does not seem to work with our Cisco 6509 switch. I tried updating the firmware on the dock but it still hasn't fixed the issue. I was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem with any other networks out there.

I'm seeing the same issue with a ThinkPad W520. When I connect my ethernet cable directly to the laptop, my internet speeds are on par with my service provider of 18 Mbps. When I move that cable to the dock, I will only see 1.5 Mbps. I have two displays attached to the dock and I'm running Windows 7. I've updated the dock firmware and have installed the latest system drivers. Is there anything else to try?
