WRT54G (ver 7)-port forwarding problems (eMule)

Hi I want to use the eMule file sharing program and the problem is I cannot forward any ports (this problem already occured at other programs too) ... Im sure Ive typed in the correct port ranges, and used the correct IP-adress... I tried to use static IP adress, furthermore ive disabled the "Block Anonymous Internet Requests " option, without any success... I cannot find any firmware updates for this version either... pls help

Please open the router configuration interface at http://192.168.1.1/ (or whichever address you use to configure the forwardings). Click on Status on post the full status of your connection.
Also post the exact settings which you use for the port forwardings.
On the computer to which you forward and which is running the emule server, open a command prompt window, enter "ipconfig /all" and "netstat -aon". Post the full output of those two commands as well.
For few more things to check see this Checklist.

WRT54G ver 6 Port forwarding question

Howdy... I just purchased the WRT54G ver 6 router to replace my old wired one that was fried after losing power one night... plugged into a $60 surge protector... but I digress... I have 2 PCs plugged into this router... neither are wireless. I host a website and so I setup the router to forward port 80 to the webserver... The loading of images has become incredibly slow. Probably 3 to 4 Xs as slow as the old router... If I plug my cable modem into the pc direct it seems fine, so I dont see a bandwidth issue or upload problem... Seems to be at the router and more specific where the router is forwarding the request. Has anyone run into this? Are there settings on the router somewhere that I can tweak?

Try to lower your MTU settings.

WRT54G v.3 Port Forwarding Reset Problem

I have a Linksys WRT54G and I've had it for well over 3 years. I've been using another Wired router as a DHCP server and only used the wireless router for wireless access.
But recently, I took the wired router away and began using the WRT54G. I set up everything correctly including Port Forwarding, but the strange thing is that whenever I reboot my computer, the port forwarding service stops. If I enable it, disable it or do anything else, it still won't work.
The only way to fix this problem is to 'Reset Factory Settings' every time, but it gets really frustrating doing it every day. Has anyone else had this issue? P.S. - I have the latest firmware.

Checking back after 1 month, I still have this problem, no workaround found. Can anyone lend a hand?

WRT54GS Ver 3 wont forward ports.

My WRT54GS won't forward ports after a reformat. I have done proper port forwarding before and followed the same process of forwarding a port. I also set a static IP to be sure I am opening the right IP. Using the Utorrent checker (http://www.utorrent.com/testport?port=6881) and www.canyouseeme.org i am unable to see any ports. But when I run Utorrent, it magically opens the port its using without issue. I do not know what the issue is and any help would be vastly appreciated.

WRT54G - IP and Port mapping problems

I'll set the scenario first so you can understand what i'm trying to do. I have a D-Link 524 configured trough PPoE to get access to internet. It has DHCP enabled (from 192.168.0.100 to .199). I had static ip configured in the D-Link router as 192.168.0.90 and some ports forwarded to my pc that's like 50 meters away from the router, in other office. The thing is, I added a WRT54G v6 router cause the wireless signal from the d-link didn't reach where I am, and some people needed to use it. So, I plugged my pc to the WRT54G, and the linksys to the D-Link. No, my problem is, I no longer have the static ip that the d-link assigned me (the linksys uses the 192.168.1.X range, and the d-link the 192.168.0.X range). Now, if I release my MAC address from the D-link and assing a static ip in the WRT54G, I could fordward the ports I had before in the d-link but in the linksys. The thing is, I can't find a way to assing a static ip in the linksys. And I tried to change the range of ip from the linksys to 192.168.0.X so I can still use the assigned address from the d-link but it didn't work, I couldn't access the linksys neither the d-link after changing the address, didn't get internet either, so i had to reset the linksys. After all of this... what the hell do I do Azureus can't connect, or any other P2P app for that matter (cause I had the ports forwarded in the other router, and I can't forward them in the linksys cause I get a dynamic local ip, if I forward them to, say 192.168.1.100 and some day I get assigned 192.168.1.101... well, I assume it won't work as expected)

The WRT54G does not assign fixed IP addresses through DHCP. You have to set a static IP address on the computer itself instead of using DHCP.
I would, however, recommend not to use the WRT as router but only as simple access point. Instructions are here. Set a LAN IP address like 192.168.0.2 on the WRT to keep it accessible inside your normal LAN. I think this setup will solve all your problems. You can still use the fixed IP address assignment from the DHCP server on the D-Link and you only have to configure a single port forwarding on the D-Link (instead of two which would be necessary if you connect the Linksys router through its internet port to the D-Link).
With two access points you can create a roaming network by using the identical wireless settings on both routers (SSID, wireless security, wireless mode). Channels should be different and at least 5 apart. SSID broadcast should be enabled on both. Now most wireless clients are able to move between both access points without loosing the connection.

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.
Advanced settings on Ethernet card
Auto Disable Gigabit/ Disabled

Interrupt Moderation/ Enabled
IPv4 Checksum Offload/ RX & TX Enabled

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.

WRT54G Ver 6 Internet connectivity problems

Alright so here's the deal.
I'm on Windows XP with Verizon DSL (in Orange County, CA) that uses a Westell modem (just modem, not modem and router combo).
I have the old Linksys BEFSR41 v.2 router that runs with everything fine.
I just bought the WRT54G Version 6 and connected everything up as needed. Powered things down and then back up. And it could not detect an Internet connection, but I could access the router via web browser.
- Ran the Setup CD and it couldn't find the internet.
- Upgraded the firmware.
- I searched the forums and did not find a successful solution.
- Called my ISP to confirm it is DHCP.
- Talked to Linksys Support via phone and he had me do all sorts of stuff. Releasing, Renewing, Local IP Address changes, pinging, MAC, etc. All this to try to get some sort of IP address with the internet.
- Tried it with a diff WRT54G Ver 6 (Yeah. I bought two. One for me, and one to bring to my parents), and it still didn't work. (Can't be that both the routers I got are defective.)
- Searched forums some more and ran across the EasyLink program. I used it, and it tells me my freaking Wired adaptor is disabled. Where do I enable it? Can't be my computer because it all works fine with the old Linksys router I got....or could it?
- Powered down and back up in many different combinations.
Did all that to no avail. Anyone got a solution? I couldn't find anything that worked. I'm about to go return this and get something else tomorrow. Maybe if I wake up, there will be a workable solution that is replied back.
Thanks in advance to all those that tried to help and posted something, or didn't post due to having no solution.
- Chris

Yup Yup Yup. I tried the WAN address thing and it still didn't work.
I was about to pack everything up and go return the stupid thing. BUT.....I decided to talk to Verizon DSL support since I hadn't tried that.
They helped me out good!!!
Here's the solution.
I plugged in the old router, the BEF, and went to Status to click the DHCP Release. Then unplugged the old router.
Then per Verizon DSL support instruction....powered down the modem, then powered it back up and waited for lights to stabilize. Then I plugged in the new router, the WRT. And went to Status (IP was already autofilled, with internet working) but I still clicked DHCP Renew.
It all works. WOOOOOO!!!!
By the way. The WAN address thing is important. I went to it on the new, WORKING router and disabled the WAN address. The internet stopped working. I re-entered in the WAN address I copied and the internet worked again. So......yeah.
I hope for all those out there having the same problems as me, and without a solution, see this thread and try this.
Thanks again for your guys' help.
**edit**
By the way. Is there a way to stop my internet to being a stickler to this MAC address? I'm just curious. I'm gonna go google MAC address and see if I can read anything useful.

WRT54GS Not saving port forwarding info.

I gave up on an older router, and had the wrt54gs sitting in my closet. I had to set it up for the PSN and COD4, but everytime I enter the port forwarding info, it says its saved, but erases it.
The info is:
TCP 80
TCP 443
TCP 5223
UDP 3478 - 3479
UDP 3658
All enabled on PS3s IP
Click SAVE SETTINGS
It opens a black window that says settings saved
I click OK
and everything has been erased.
Im on firmware 7.50.2.
Ive tried both firefox 3 and internet explorer. (ff3 error console gave me no errors)
DMZ is enabled for my PS3.
Ive tried both a wired and wireless connection.
I can use my PS3s browser (if that matters)
Any suggestions?

You need to Upgrade the Firmware on your router...Download the Firmware from here , Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router and do the port forwarding and check if it saves the settings...

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
Solved!

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...

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

Hooking "SlingBox" to WRT54gs...port forwarding...

I have had wireless network for about two years and have had no problems...but I need to hook a ling Box Pro" to it so my nephew in Yemen can access a Tivo I have hooked to the net work..
Sling box tells me I have to do "port forwarding" I have serched for "sling box" and "port forwarding" on this site and have got no returns...
Does anybody have any idea how I can do this hook up so it will broadcast remotely over the internet???
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks,
Hefs

hi Hefs, try following steps...
first off you need to assign a static IP address on slingbox according to DHCP server of the router, if router is running on 192.168.1.1, sling box should have 192.168.1.10 subnetmask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.1.1...logon to router's setup page, open I.E. and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" (default password) as a password without any username...try reducing MTU to 1365, click on "applications and gaming" >> port range forwarding >> under the application put "slingbox" start port should be 5001 and end port is 5001, protocol should be both and put the IP address of slingbox which you've assigned, check the check box and save the settings...also make sure that you have latest firmware installed on the router...let me know the results.

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.
