Westell 9100EM - Port Forwarding

So, I'm a newbie when it comes to port forwading, and I have tried all the tricks I can find on the internet.
I need to open some ports on my Westell 9100EM and I can't seem to find out how to get a step by step guide. I don't want to mess anything up, so I want to be save about not just trying things out.
This is what I need:
- Allow port 6112 TCP out and allow established sessions in
- Allow port 6112 TCP in
- Allow port 6113-6119 TCP out and in
It seems somewhat straightforward, but perhaps i'm missing something. If anyone can get back to me with some step by step ideas, you'd be my hero forever!
Thanks again for helping another noob.

For example it should show up like this
My New service TCP Any -> 6112-6119
I remember seeing somewhere that people had trouble forwarding groups of ports and had to make a rule for each port.
Something to keep in mind.
Works ok for my FTP server on non standard ports on a 9100EM, I just changed the port numbers on the example.

Westell 9100em: Ports not forwarding

I moved into a new apartment recently with Fios and a Westell A90 9100EM15-10 and I haven't figured out how to port forward with it yet. I need these ports forwarded:
7777(TCP/UDP)
28900 (TCP)
27900 (UDP)
28910 (TCP)
I followed the instructions an admin posted in this thread: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/port-forward-on-new-Westell-9100em/m-p/3021
However, when I test the ports (for instance, port 7777 http://www.utorrent.com/testport?port=7777 here,) it never says any of them are open. I have followed the directions step by step. On the port forwarding menu, it lists my entry for these ports as active for the local host and address 192.168.1.35, the static IP I have assigned to my computer. The protocols read as follows:
TCP Any -> 7777
        UDP Any -> 7777
        TCP Any -> 28900
        UDP Any -> 27900
        TCP Any -> 28910
I have experience with port forwarding in the past with a Linksys router, but it apparently simply is not working out for me with this Westell. Any assistance is appreciated...

Do yours actually open? I know Borderlands has serious connectivity issues right now. My issue is that it doesn't seem like these ports are ever actually open for me. I don't see why every port check site I used should return "closed" if they're actually open.

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!

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).

Time Capsule: Port Forwarding Issue and DHCP with Westell 6100g Modem

Ok two issues as of right now, but more down the road i think... Anyways, number one, i would like to be able to backup my computer using time machine and my time capsule.. Right now it works properly when inside the local network, was wondering if there was a way to backup when outside the network... i travel a lot and always have my macbook pro with me.. Also, i have a USB hard drive connected to the usb port on back of time capsule but its not showing up anywhere... is that only for printers??? that's not such a big deal, but would be nice to have access to that hard drive from multiple computers... OK so part two of my issues is, i have a WESTELL 6100g modem for DSL verizon service, which is crappy, but that's besides the point, it is a modem/router, so i have the time capsule connected directly to that westell.. the westell only has one Ethernet port, so that's wired to time capsule and then my computers are connected wirelessly and wired through the capsule. It seems that the westell is distributing the IP's and is controlling the port forwarding and what not.. I have tried a few things to give control to the time capsule but that didnt work.. i followed these directions on the web page http://www.dslreports.com/faq/vz/4._Hardware#13600 but it didnt work properly, i couldn't log onto the web at all.. Maybe im doing something wrong.... Anyways, what i really want to do is control everything that the westell is controlling right now with the time capsule... i want to give out IP's and also control port forwarding with the capsule.. Any way of getting that accomplished would be AWESOME... I'm somewhat intelligent when it comes to computers so i should understand everything you are talking about... please help!!!

If you have Back to my Mac (available online service from Apple's MobileMe), then you can perform the following actions with your Time Capsule remotely,
1. Remote disk access to both the Time Capsule disk and a compatible disk connected via the Time Capsule's USB ports.
2. Remote configuration.
Also, i have a USB hard drive connected to the usb port on back of time capsule but its not showing up anywhere... is that only for printers???
Printer, hub, or compatible disk.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2421
Anyway, it could be a setup issue for you, assuming you have Back to my Mac (MobileMe) then the procedure for Time Capsule services is shown in the following Apple support kb

and for USB disk please see the following Apple support kb

Need help with port forwarding an Avtech DVR

For some reason I can't get my Avtech DVR to work on my android phone on Avtech's Eagle Eyes app.
The camera/dvr comes up on wifi, but not on 4g. I am trying to get the port forwarding to work, but its not working. It says the ip address is not accesible.
The port for the dvr is 80. This is what I have. I thought it was correct?

Westell 9100EM and Linsys WRT54G together

In my house, the Westell 9100EM router is in the Far Northeast corner of the home where my (rather old) home computer is located... Our bedrooms are located on the exact opposite corner of the home, in the SW area. Wireless service is quite poor in that area.
I have an existing Linksys WRT-54G router that worked very well when I had SBC DSL at an older house in another area. What I'm thinking is to put the WRT-54G in the middle of the house or in the back bedroom to provide wireless to that corner.
I see a lot of information on the boards and so forth about the Actiontec router and doing this but very little on the 9100EM router. Can anyone point me in a direction that gives more thorough directions for this? Has someone made this work?
Thanks in Advance for the help!

Only if you have an ethernet port where you want to put it. If you do connect to it locally hard wired and change the subnet to 192.168.2 and set the wanport to a fixed address on the 192.168.1 subnet e.g. 192.168.1.254 Then connect the wan port of the linksys to a lan port of the 9100em via the in house wiring. the linksys by default cannot connect by wirelss to the 9100em.
If you have no inhouse wiring and are somewhat technically savvy and your wrt54g is a newer rev you can hack the firmware to change it to a wireless forwarder - see tomato. Google it on the net. Be warned that if you mess it up you have a very light boat anchor.

Wireless IP Camera Won't Connect To Westell 9100EM Router

I'm trying to connection an IP camera, on Fios, to my Verizon Westell 9100EM router.
Connecting the camera via a wired connection works fine. Port forwarding is automatically configured when turning the camera on, at TCP ANY 554, and the IP camera is viewable on the web. No worries.
However, when unplugging the cord, the router never recogizes the camera. Not after resetting, powering off/on, etc. Both the WEP and SSID are set correctly on the camera. All other wireless devices (laptops, Xbox 360, iPhone, etc.) work fine on the router.
Naturally, the camera people blame Verizon and Verizon blames the camera people.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

What are the details on the camera (Make, model, etc) ?

Wifi bridging with westell 9100em

so i just moved in with new roomates, they have fios for tv, internet, and phone. They have a westell 9100em wifi router that was installed with the service. i would like to setup my own subnet so that i can have my own security settings being that they aren't that concerned with their security and therefor pretty much have none, and also would like to have my own file sharing network. That being the case i need to try figure out how to set this up, with some of the communities help of course.
so here's what i have, the westell 9100em wifi router using moca.
a tp-link TL-WA901ND ap/bridge,
and a linksys WRT160N V2 wifi router.
What I would like to do is setup a wireless bridge between the tp-link and the westell, then connect the linksys to the tp-link so that i can have a wired connection from my desktop pcs (2) and xbox360, and a secure wifi connection for my laptop, netbook, and smartphone.
any help on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated, i have tried to set up the bridge but the menus for the westell are not very user friendly, and i cannot seem to get it to work. after that i think i should be able to just set the linksys up as just a switch and be good? haven't made it that far yet though.

To have a separate (private) network, you want the connection from the TP-Link to go to the WAN port of the Linksys.
The Linksys WAN side can either get a DHCP address from the Westell or can have a static IP address on the Westell's subnet (192.168.1.x).
The LAN side of the Linksys must have a different subnet (e.g. 192.168.2.x). It can not use the 192.168.1.x subnet.
There is nothing in the Westell that you need to change unless you need to forward ports, then you will need to do so in both routers.

How do I do port forwarding on my airport extreme for my IP camera (foscam)?

Hi,
I've been working on this for what seems like a week. I purchased a wireless security camera to put in my house and to see from my laptop (or IPAD2) when I'm away. I am able to see it from either device when I'm here at home, but not when I'm out on the road.
According to the instructions for a mac setup, I needed to set up a DDNS service and get a free account at DynDNS, which I did. They also told me to use a different port than 80, suggesting 8081 as the http port which I plugged in to the camera device setting.. The next step is to do PORT FORWARDING and then I should be able to use my DDNS domain name and port number to login to my camera anywhere...
I'm stuck in how to do this with my airport extreme. I see where I have to go into utilities and click on airport utility, and then manual set-up..
Right now when I click on the Internet tab at the top I see the connection sharing is off (Bridge Mode), and that I have to change it to share a public IP address to get DHCP and NAT to appear in the tabs..
when I go to NAT, the box for enable NAT port mapping protocol is checked and then there is a tab I can click on that says Configure Port Mapping.
I know that I'm supposed to click the plus button + to enter a service and a port and here's where I get stuck
when I click the + button I can either click on the choose a service tab, which then drops down a list of services like Personal File Sharing, Window Sharing, Personal Web Sharing, Remote Login SSH , etc, or just keep it where it says choose a service and not choose one of the services.
Then there are some boxes to fill in for Public UDP Port(s), Public TCP Port(s), PRIVATE IP address-where the only numbers I can change are the last ones and I don't know if I'm supposed to put the IP address of the camera or what? and then the boxes for Public UDP and PUBLIC TCP.
I tried a few times to fill out the port numbers to 8081 (the one I selected for the IP camera) but I don't know what to do for the private IP address. When I changed the last numbers to the IP address of my camera, and went to update, it told me that I had to correct the 2 problems before updating:
DHCP beginning address, and dhcp ending address...as the DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Airport wireless device. So I cancel and am stuck.
Sorry this is so long.. but I really can't get anyone to help me figure this out.. The camera company isn't answering ..
Thanks!!
Barry

Thanks for the info. I checked the model number on the Westell site to get info on the device. From Westell's info.....
1. Product Description
This ADSL modem is a NAT router with a four port 10/100BaseT Ethernet switch, a USB port and 802.11g wireless interface.
So, while you might refer to it as a "modem" ( a modem will only have one Ethernet port), you have a router or gateway. A gateway is simply a modem and router in the same box.
With the AirPort Extreme, you have 2 routers on the network. Basic networking rules dictate that when there are 2 routers, the first....your Westell.....must handlde DHCP and NAT, and the second router....in this case the AirPort Extreme....must be configured to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will function correctly on the network. That's why the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode. That is the correct setting on your network.
That's also why you were getting the error messages when you tried to configure the Extreme as a second router.
As I mentioned before, any port mapping or port forwarding is going to have to be set up on the "main" router....your Westell. It cannot be set up on the AirPort Extreme.

Need help setting up an IP phone with the Westell 9100EM router

I have an IP phone that I use for work - it's an old fashioned Axxess phone by InterTel but it works. I've had both DSL and cable service before, using a Netgear wireless router with the phone and never had an issue with the phone connecting to our office phone system. I just recently moved and have FIOS and chose not to hook up the Netgear, since the Westell does DHCP just fine.
When I connect the phone, the phone is receiving an IP address from the router and I can see it's connected when I'm logged onto the router but it will not connect with our system. The phone runs through UDP port 5567 but connects usually with TCP port 5566. I can ping 5566 and get a reply. I can telnet our Remote IPC IP using 5566 and get a response but the phone times out after 60 seconds of not being able to connect.
I have checked out this website and am guessing it has something to do with port forwarding. I tried to make some changes but I'm not sure I understand enough about how it's supposed to work to feel confident that I put the right information in the right places!
I could really use a nudge in the right direction. The phone worked a few days ago on a DSL connection so I know the phone is working. Other users who work from home are not having issues with their IP phones so I've narrowed it down to the router. Both my computers are working on the system too.
Thanks!
Anne

#1 http://i27.tinypic.com/2due29v.jpg
At that screen in your router, change the Starting IP so that it is
192.168.1.100
#2 On the Axxess phone by InterTel, setup a static IP outside of that range.
You can set any number that you want to BUT NOT: 0, 1, 100 to 255.
#3 Here is/are guide(s) for that router (This is based upon the screen images seen so far)

Can not port forward on WRT54GS v6 "You cannot use the router IP"

Hello, I'm trying to open a port number, but when I try to use my router's IP, the following message appears
"You cannot use the router IP, network, or broadband address"
[IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/107qond.jpg[/IMG]
My ADSL was working as a NAT behind a NAT connection, so I had to change my Local IP Address to 192.168.2.1.
Router: WRT54GS v6 firmware 1.52.8 (latest) - Bellsouth router: Westell 6100
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : launchmodem.com
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::40a9:a76e:61b3:6435%11
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.100
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1
So, please help me, how can I open ports on my router? =[
PS: I tried to use 192.168.2.100, and even though it lets me use it, it still seems not to open that port... my IP is dynamic.

Generally: NAT behind NAT is a bad idea. There is usually no need for double NAT. Either configure the ADSL router as bridge and use the WRT for your internet connection or set up the WRT as simple access point behind the ADSL router.
It's also unclear to me what is working or not. First I thought you can't set up forwarding at all because you get that error message. Then, in your PS you write you tried to use 192.168.2.100 and that seemed to be possible. The IP address to forward to must be the IP address of the computer to which you want to forward. Thus 192.168.2.100 is exactly the IP address you have to set up. Does this work or not?
Also remember: with double NAT you must set up two forwardings: first on the ADSL router then on the WRT. Port forwarding is necessary to allow incoming traffic through NAT. All incoming traffic arrives on the ADSL router. Thus setting up port forwarding on the WRT only won't do a thing.
It's also not recommend to use dynamic IPs for forwarding destinations. Dynamic IP addresses may change over time and that requires you to adjust forwardings accordingly. It's better to reserve fixed IP addresses (if your WRT supports this) or set a static IP address on the computer outside the DHCP address pool.

Onkyo remote app2 port forwarding

Hi guys
My 1st post, so here goes...
Im using an iPhone 5 with Onkyo Remote2 App to TRY to control Onkyo TX NR414 with wireless dongle.
It used to work but was never stable, but of late it seems to have just gave up. I've tried uninstalling the app, reseting the recievers wireless connection etc.... I've tried googling the problem and it seems I may have to open ports in the BT Home Hub to allow the app through. I recently changed my wireless channel on my Hub as I was having issues with my SkyHD On Demand (which is connected wirelessly, too) and my Ipad was having trouble staying connected too, but everything is working well now, except the App.
Its a real issue as I just upgraded to Spotify Premium and now i cant control music etc in Zone 2 (kitchen)..... BTW this problem has been going on from before I changed the wireless channel, so Im sure this is not the cause.
I had a look at the Port Forward options on my Hub but I havent a clue what to do, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I've found the interface very hard to deal with, and there doesn't seem to be any support from either Verizon or Westell for any of
the "advanced" features in the 7500. I've made port forwarding work though.
You aren't very specific about what services on your Lan you are trying to expose, but in no particular order here some thing that might help you out.
- Make sure that your 7500 firewall is set no higher than medium otherwise port forwarding isn't going to do anything at all.
- Turn on logging so the device tells you when it blocks something.
- If you don't have a static WAN IP sign up for a dynamic dns service.
- You probably want to have a static LAN IP assigned to the service on the LAN you are trying to access.
- Make sure that the LAN service isn't running a software firewall that is blocking things.

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.

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,

Port forwarding & security level

[was orig sent to fios internetforum in error- I'm on a dsl line]
I've set up port forwarding for various services (mIRC, ftp, etc) on my Versalink gateway (Westell 327W router/modem). Ports are OK, Still, I can't access these when my firewall is set to "Typical Security" - I have to go down to Minimum for anything to get through. Is this the way it's supposed to work? I thought that port forwarding opened my selected ports in the firewall without compromising security otherwise. If I have to choose min. security, what's the point of port forwarding? Thanks for any feedback - ed
