WRT120N Router Ports not Forwarding

I've been trying to forward ports on this router for a bit, as I've had to fall back to it since my newer router is no longer functioning correctly.
When I forward the ports in single port forwarding, I'm unable to connect to my servers. However, if I enable remote management, then put the port I wish to use for the server in the port on that screen, I'm able to access my server.
Is there something I can try doing to get the ports to forward correctly? I'm running the latest firmware as well.

Are you using a DSL modem? If you do, then try any of these steps:
Set the modem to full bridge modem or;
Try double port forwarding: http://portforward.com/help/doublerouterportforwarding.htm

Ports not forwarding on wrt610n

Hi All,
I've been really stumped when I decided to start using xbox live. When ever I try to join my friends party I am slammed with a NAT error. Before I get to far into this let me tell you the layout of my network
Modem>Vonage>Wrt610n>device.
For years now I have not been able to forward ports at all. Any portcheckers come back with unable to contact your router.
I am fairly certan its the router because, I dirrectly plugged my 360 into my modem and everything worked like a charm.
I've read on a similar post found here "Similar post" that updating the firmware might fix the issue?
Thanks!
Solved!

Ok thanks! that makes allot of sense, would you suggest I make my path like this modem>router>vonage- device
making vonage just another device plugged into the router?
From what I know VOIP routers should always be the main one so that the phone connection will be prioritized. If your original setup is > Modem-Vonage-WRT610N you will be experiencing double NATting and that is the reason why your port forwarding is not working. Like mentioned above, you need to forward the ports on both routers.
You can also do: modem>router>vonage- device setup but the quality of your phone service might be compromised since again, VOIP routers should be prioritized for the phone connection to properly work.

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.

Router not Forwarding Ports Correctly.

Hi I currently have WRT610N (Firmware Version 1.00.02 B10)and when I go to forward a port, I go log into my router. Go to Port Range Forwarding and forward my range to my ip address (192.168.0.103) I get from run/cmd/ipconfig, and enable it. My pc's firewall is disabled altogether just to test it, and I used "http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/" to check if the port is forwarded and still nothing... I've tried several other Port Checking websites and still nothing... I Don't Know What's Wrong......

Go through this checklist.
Considering that you have changed the IP address of your router from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 I would guess your modem is also a router and thus everything coming in from the internet ends at the modem and not at the WRT...

RV215W router port forwarding not working

RV215W router port forwarding not working.
Port forwarding works for a short period of time, then stops working. Reboot router, works again for short period of time, then stops again.
I have updated firmware to latest. I had seen other similar bugs posted for 220 and I think 180, not sure if this router has similar bugs and waiting for fix release to firmware.
I had recently purchased two, one deployed, will hold off on other now because of issues, and may have to move to different unit if a resolution not found this week.

It's not just single port forwarding that has bugs, the entire router has bugs and simply does not work as advertised. I have found the following bugs/aspects of this router that just does not work correctly: 1. If you have to open ports, and who doesn’t, this router will eventually stop accepting packets from WAN>LAN. You will still have Internet access but no open ports. A reboot will fix this problem. Oh, by the way, this router has no scheduled reboot option! <--That would be a workaround but a welcome one for this router. 2. Firewall Access rules do not work!! Yep, a Cisco router and basic functionality simply does not work. I called Cisco and even though the tech saw the router not working denied it was a bug! Said we have to do port mirroring, setup a workstation with WireShark and capture packets so we can debug the issues. That would take several hours. I told him I would have appreciated if Cisco would have debugged the issues with their router BEFORE they shipped the units. Stay away from Cisco Small Business Routers. I wish I had. And if there are any Cisco die-hards out there willing to prove me wrong, just reply to this and please, prove me wrong that the RV series and specifically the RV215W is not JUNK.

WRT120N wireless nodes not routed to WAN, Multicast not working

Hi. Since a few weeks, I am experiencing strange and very annoying problems with my WRT120N. I have a DSL connection at home and the router connects to that via PPPoE. The LAN consists of one wired node and several wireless nodes. I have a G/N mixed setup because I also have G-only nodes (older laptop, mobile phone).
Every few minutes, my wireless nodes are not routed to the WAN anymore. Weird thing is: they can still connect to the wired node on the LAN so bridging seems to work fine. They can also connect to the router itself and the router says it is connected to the WAN. I can confirm this WAN connection because the wired node is being routed to the internet all the time. Restarting the router solves the problem. Actually, even if just disabling/enabling the wireless connection on my nodes solves it. However after a few minutes, sometimes seconds, routing stops working again (It happened twice during the writing of this email).
Another thing that is really bugging me is that multicast seems to get filtered. After a few minutes, no multicast message is being sent to the wireless nodes. Multicast packets sent by the wireless nodes do arrive at the wired node but any answer is being filtered on the router.
I have changed pretty much every possible setting that could be connected to the issue but no improvement (e.g. filtering multicast in the firewall). I used to be on 1.0.0.4 and hoped that upgrading to 1.0.0.5 would help but it didn't. I also checked this forum for solutions but found none that is working for me. This way, the router is pretty much useless for wireless clients as after an arbitrary but pretty short time interval they can only connect to the LAN and no Multicast service discovery/media streaming is possible. I really need help on these issues.

Hi Brickmonkey,
thanks a lot for your answer. I did the changes you advised. In fact, here's in detail what I did:
Router reset as described.
Changed the following configuration options:
PPPoE + Credentials
Local IP
MAC-IP Bindings for DHCP
Time Zone
DynDNS
Wireless Mode -> Mixed
SSID
Channel Width -> Auto
Wireless Security -> Enabled
Encryption AES
Passphrase
Port Forwarding for SSH,HTTPS
Router Password
Changed the options beacon interval, RTS threshold, fragmentation threshold and MTU as advised.
Router power cycled.
Routing and multicast are running since 5 minutes. Let's see if it lasts.
Answering your question: I do have one wired machine directly connected to the internal switch at the WRT120N. That's the one the ports are forwarded to. It has a static IP outside the DHCP range and is actually my DHCP,DNS etc server - however DHCP is disabled at the moment. All my other machines are wireless clients with G or N connectivity.
Can you explain the reason behind your proposed configuration changes?

Router won't save settings of Single Port Forward or Port Range Forwarding

Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble tonight trying to get my Playstation 3 to play games online and in doing so I'm attempting to enable Single Port Forwarding and or Port Range Forwarding.
To start, I am using this link below this paragraph as a guide.
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Cisco/Linksys-E1000/PS3_Endless_Saga.htm
Each time I go and set the settings and click save, it tells me the settings have been saved successfully then when I click continue onto the next page it shows they actually haven't saved at all. My router is out of it's 90 day phone support with Linksys and I refuse to pay anything extra for support so I'm hoping someone else will be able to help me with my issue since they refuse to unless I pay them.

Hello. Sucks you ran into trouble just after PSN got back online
Try clearing your cache / cookies then re-do the settings. Also, try using a different Internet browser.

The router forgets Port Range Forward settings

Hello, after a year or so of working absolutely flawlessly, the router, all of a sudden, started forgetting the Port Range Forward settings. In particular, I have port 80 set to go to a specific IP address. Every now and then, it will start going to a different address within the network (even though the Port Range Forward page still shows it pointing to the right IP address).
I disable Port Forwarding for that port, then re-enable it and everything is fine. For about day or two and then the problem re-appears.
What could be the issue?
Thanks.

What is the model no of the Router...?
Who is your ISP...?
What firmware you are using on the router...?
Try to reset the router and re-configure it from scratch.Now,check if that make any difference.

Yeah I also have a voip connected, but I haven't tampered with the settings in that device yet, even though I DO have access to the settings, I don't really know how to tamper with it.
Thanks for the reply so far, got home late~

HT1595 cannot connect ATV to actiontec router with wired ethernet. router does not see ATV. is there a way to test the ATV ethernet port on the back?

have an 3g ATV (5.0 4099) wired via coax cable to actiontec MI 424-wr router. Router cannot see ATV. Is there a way to test ethernet connector on back of ATV? ATV does work when setup for wireless but its much too slow for actual use when configured that way.

Steve,
I think the isssue is clearly that your router is not acting as a DNS Server. You will need to contact Verizon to see how to configure it so that it does supply the DNS addresses. If you can configure it in your Router try using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as the DNS Server addresses. These point it to Google's Public Domain DNS Servers. There are others (opendns.org). But for now these will hopefully get you up and running.

WRT1900 AC V1 - Linksys is aware that the router is not working properly. Help spread the word.

I just had a conversation with Linksys' Customer Service via chat: Daphne L. J: Hello Fernando Paramo. My name is Daphne L..
Daphne L. J: Welcome to Linksys Global Chat. Is this your initial contact or do you have a case number?
You: Case number is 04971062
Daphne L. J: Please give me 3-5 minutes to pull up and review your case.
You: OK
Daphne L. J: Thank you.
You: I have a WRT1900 AC, V1. The router is not working properly. I have disconnections every few minutes.I already installed the new firmware version and I still have the same issues. I already reset the router to factory defaults and same issues. I have changed the settings back to my personal preferences: Changed the SSID, changed the wireless security settings, changed the DNS and deactivate WPS. That's it.I'm using 5 Ghz mode with my laptops (5 Ghz adapters) and 2-4 Ghz with a few devices (Chromecast, Nintendo 3DS).
Daphne L. J: Thank you for waiting.
Daphne L. J: Please confirm if the following information is correct:
Name : Fernando Paramo
Phone Number :
E-Mail Address :
Model Number : WRT1900AC
Serial Number : 13J10609406280
Country : United States
You: That's correct.
Daphne L. J: Okay. Were you able to check if the devices have stable connection wired to the router?
You: No. I do not have devices with Ethernet ports. Well, only the cable modem.
You: But the modem is fine. No disconnections from my ISP.
You: It is the router.
Daphne L. J: Alright. What is the current firmware version of your router?
You: I tried to return the router to Wal-Mart yesterday with no luck. This is a useless device. And I have been reading comments on the community forums and a lot of people are having problems.
Daphne L. J: We are actually aware of the issue and are working on a resolution. What is the current firmware version of your router?
You: Ver. 1.1.10.167514
You: Latest one.
Daphne L. J: Yes, so you reflashed the firmware, reset and then manually reconfigure it after, not using backup configuration, is that right?
You: That's correct.
Daphne L. J: And it is intermittent on all devices connected to both 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks, is that right?
You: That's correct.
Daphne L. J: Thank you for the information. Please give ,e 3-5 minutes to verify this with my superior.
Daphne L. J: Thank you for waiting.
You: I want to send you my WRT1900 AC and get a V2 or I want a EA8500 and pay the difference myseld.
You: I do not want my current hardware.
You: It is useless for my needs.
You: I can't believe I had an older E3000 that didn't give me any problems.
Daphne L. J: We have already exhausted all possible troubleshooting steps for your concern. As verified with my Supervisor, we will forward your case to our Customer Assurance Team. They are highly technical and knowledgeable when it comes to advanced troubleshooting. They will contact you in the next 24 to 48 hours. By the way, who is your Internet Service Provider?

You: Cable connection.
Daphne L. J: Who is your Internet Service Provider?
You: A company called .
You: How are they going to contact me?
Daphne L. J: Alright. By the way, on the device itself, on its FCC ID, please check if you have WRT1900AC or WRT1900AC v2.
You: Are you paying attention to me?
You: I already told you it's V1.
Daphne L. J: They will call or email you. Please double check if these informations are correct:

You: I told you I want to send you my WRT1900 AC and get a V2 or I want a EA8500 and pay the difference myself.
You: I want them to contact me to my email. I can't answer the phone during work hours.
Daphne L. J: We can't assure you if we will be able to replace it with Version 2 or if you are allowed to have the EA8500 instead.
Daphne L. J: Just in case, do you also have an alternate number?
Daphne L. J: Also, what time zone are you in? And what is your preferred time and day for them to contact you?
You: I have the one from my office in Mexico. Central Time. Any time is good.
Daphne L. J: So, you are currently in Mexico?
You: I work in Mexico but I have the house in USA. I live in the border.
Daphne L. J: I see. Do you have any other questions or clarifications?
You: I live 10 minutes away from the International Bridge. But that's not an issue. I bought the router at Walmart in Laredo, TX.
Daphne L. J: Thank you for the information. Would that be all for now?
You: I want a clarification: Do you realize that there is an issue with the current WRT1900 AC? Are you aware of that?
You: Because this is a very expensive router that is not working as it should be.
Daphne L. J: Yes, we are aware of the issue and are working on a resolution.
Daphne L. J: Would there be anything else you need?
You: That would be it. I will wait for you to contact me.
You: Thanks.
Daphne L. J: Alright. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to serve you through Linksys Live Chat. You may also visit our support site at www.linksys.com. For your reference, your case number is 04980394. Thank you for choosing Linksys and have a great day! We paid $250 for this piece of equipment. That's a lot of money for a device that doesn't work. I just want to get a V2 replacement, or better yet, an exchange for a EA8500. We should all demand this. It is not fair for us. The current WRT1900 AC is a useless device. They even should do a recall of the product. I will wait for them to contact me, but I'm thinking if I should send the information to The Consumerist or someone else. What to do?

Well... instead of looking into this with Engineering, I would prefer you to talk about this with the Sales department and exchange my WRT1900AC for an EA8500 (I will pay the difference if needed). Seriously. The device is useless. Not just a paperweigt... an expensive paperweight.Actually I looking into the swap for you because I think that would be best in your case. Keep this in perspective. There is laterally millions of WRT1900AC V1 out there with very few issues with latest firmwares and of course the odd exception. In your case it could be a defective WRT1900AC.

WRT1900AC V1 - Linksys is aware that the router is not working properly. Help spread the word.

I just had a conversation with Linksys' Customer Service via chat: Daphne L. J: Hello Fernando Paramo. My name is Daphne L..

You: OK
Daphne L. J: Thank you.
You: I have a WRT1900AC, V1. The router is not working properly. I have disconnections every few minutes.I already installed the new firmware version and I still have the same issues. I already reset the router to factory defaults and same issues. I have changed the settings back to my personal preferences: Changed the SSID, changed the wireless security settings, changed the DNS and deactivate WPS. That's it.I'm using 5 Ghz mode with my laptops (5 Ghz adapters) and 2-4 Ghz with a few devices (Chromecast, Nintendo 3DS).

Daphne L. J: Okay. Were you able to check if the devices have stable connection wired to the router?
You: No. I do not have devices with Ethernet ports. Well, only the cable modem.
You: But the modem is fine. No disconnections from my ISP.
You: It is the router.

Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.

10.8.2 Server: Ports not open

Hello
I try to configure a ML Server and want it to configured aas a mail server. So I configured DNS names, mail domains, Users and so on.
Now when I try to configure a mail client to receive mails via IMAP the server won't respond. So I tested all open ports on/to the server. Now I noticed that port 110 and 143 is not open. So any 1 knows how to open these ports in ML?
OS X 10.8.2 (Build 12C54) and Server 2.1.1 (Build 12S365)
Many thanks for any informations.
Dominique

If you're connecting from outside your network, the ports have to be forwarded on your router. Note also that some ISP's block incoming traffic on well-known ports unless you have a business account.

Unable to Save in Port Range Forwarding

I'm using the BEFW11S4 wireless router and am unable to save the new port range forwarding settings I have entered. Everytime I click Save Settings, I receive a box which reads:
"The server 192.168.1.1 at Linksys BEFW11S4 V4 requires a username and password.
Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection)."
When I enter the same u/p that I used to access the router in the first place, it rejects and keeps bringing up the log in screen.
I cannot get the port range forwarding to save at all due to this.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

try remembering the password you used for first time while installing the router .... if not then use default password admin with out any username ....
If still not working then you need to reset the router ....
