WRTU54G-TM Port Forward issues, DHCP server disabled but still gives out addresses

I've seen other posts about port-forwarding issues. I've had to hard-reset the device twice in 2 months to clear this up.
One issue that I can't figure out at all is that the DHCP server gives out addresses when it is set to disabled. This is a problem because it gives out the public DNS servers, which will not resolve addresses on my LAN. Anyone else seen this?
Anyone had success putting this router behind a better one and still getting the phone SIM to register and work?

Have you tried to upgrade the firmware on your Router?
Click Download the latest firmware for your Router and save the Firmware file on your Desktop.
Once you Download the firmware for your Router, Now you need to login to the Router setup page and click on the "Administration" tab and below click on "Firmware Upgrade" and then click on the Browse Button and select the firmware file and click on Upgrade.
Once the firmware is upgraded successfully then you need to Reset your Router and Re-configure all the settings on your Router from scratch.

Quantum Gateway Port Forwarding issues

This post can be removed.... the port forwarding worked once I set it up under "Advanced Settings -> Network Settings ->Port Forwarding" instead of "Firewall -> Port Forwarding"
Hello,
I am having an issue setting up port forwarding. I have made several attempts to make port forward TCP 8096, but it continues not to work. I had it working with no problems at my with my old router before we moved so I know it's not an issue with my computer firewall or antivirus and MediaBrowser is working fine on the local network. Is anyone else experiencing Port Forwarding issues? Also when will DMZ be enabled on this gateway?
Any help would be apprciated. I'm trying to setup MediaBrowser so I can schedule recordings when i'm not at home.
Thanks!

Did you follow all of the instructions i.e. since resetting your password have you also logged out of your account on your device by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then logged back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it ?
If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

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

WRT1900 Port Forward Issue

Im hoping this can be resolved quickly. Last night I found out my NAT on xbox one is set to moderate.
And I am having trouble following port forward quides.
I reserved a DHCP for my xbox one in network map and seemed to switch to Open NAT not sure if this fixed the party issue I was having earlier.
Moving on if I am to forward the ports do I go to port range forwarding and use the IP address reserved from the network map?
Essentially is a static IP and a reserved DHCP the same thing?

Try to disable the dlink camera then try to use the websites like: www.mydomainname.com, www.mydomainname.com:81, www.mydomainname.com:80, and others to see where they are getting directed.
Second let me know the IP address of NAS, Web Server and the Camera..As well as try to disable the UpnP in the Router web UI..

EA2700 port forwarding issues for DVR access

So start this off I searched these forums for answers and new here but not to the router world, I have been having issues lately I set up a DVR and need to view remotely, ports are 7000 and 8080, I setup DVR on a static IP and it can access the internet and I can ping the DVR internally than I go into router and port forward those ports on DVR's IP address disabled upnp I setup dhcp reservation on DVR's IP but when I check can you see me.org it shows those ports are closed for my external than I check port 80 and shows closed looks like all my ports are close is there some firewall in this router that would do this please help

If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://cognitiveanomalies.com/cisco-nat-how-nat-works/. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ.
Glad you got it working. Enjoy.

WRT610N Port Forwarding Issues

Hello I am attempting to port forward the WRT610n however I am currently having no luck at all, here are the details of how the network is set up
It is a WRT610N model ver2.0 router with a Siemens Speedstream 4201 router (connected by full bridge mode via ethernet)
DHCP reservation is on (with the computer reserved to an IP I want to port forward to)
I have tried using DMZ as well as Port Range Forwarding, disabling/enabling UPNP, turning off home network defender, using QoS in various ways, SPI firewall being disabled/enabled, Filter Anonymous Internet Requests disabled
Is there anything else I can try (I am able to provide more details if necessary)
The error I am actually getting is "error: connection refused"

Both Internet IP address (under status page and What Is My IP are the same)

NAT Port Forwarding Issues

I am running a Mac Mini Server with 10.6.4 and have just the Firewall and NAT services running on this computer at this time.
I have two ethernet connections on this computer. One is the built in adapter (en0) and the other is the Apple USB 100mbit adapter (en2). The en2 adapter is plugged into the internet gateway from my ISP with a static addresss (something like 333.333.333.1) and the en0 adapter is connected to my switch with an internal address (something like 10.0.0.1). I can go out to the internet from the computer and also see it from my internal network, which means that from a network prospective, it is properly configured.
I enabled the NAT service with the Server Admin tool by clicking the "IP Forwarding and Network Address Translation (NAT)" radio button. I selected the USB Ethernet from the "External network interface" and checked the "Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol" from the options.
After that I followed the directions of adding the following lines to my natd.plist from the /etc/nat/ directory:
<array>
<dict>
<key>proto</key>
<string>tcp</string>
<key>targetIP</key>
<string>10.0.0.123</string>
<key>targetPortRange</key>
<string>80</string>
<key>aliasIP</key>
<string>333.33.333.1</string>
<key>aliasPortRange</key>
<string>80</string>
</dict>
</array>
I also left the top part of the plist file as such:
<key>clamp_mss</key>
<true/>
<key>deny_incoming</key>
<false/>
<key>dynamic</key>
<true/>
<key>enable_natportmap</key>
<true/>
<key>interface</key>
<string>en2</string>
<key>log</key>
<true/>
<key>log_denied</key>
<false/>
<key>natportmap_interface</key>
<string>en2</string>
<key>proxy_only</key>
<false/>
<key>reverse</key>
<false/>
<key>same_ports</key>
<true/>
<key>unregistered_only</key>
<true/>
<key>use_sockets</key>
<true/>
The section I added is correctly located directly above the final </dict></plist>.
Unfortunately, this does not work and according to the directions from Apple this is exactly how you are supposed to be able to enable port forwarding. I have also opened up the port 80 on my firewall to allow incoming requests. When I go to the external IP address for that server it just sits and waits forever and nothing is resolved.
If someone has experience with this issue please advise.

Gateway configurations are problematic with Mac OS X Server.
(There are many previous discussions around the forums.)
Getting this to work is fussy, at best.
You can also end up with ports unexpectedly open.
An external firewall is usually the easiest choice.

Port Forwarding Issue

Port forwarding is not going well for me. I looked up guides and followed every step, testing the ports with several Port Testing websites and still no luck. I even went as far as disabling window's firewall just to see if that was an issue. Factory reset didnt help and cmd netstat -a is not showing them. Not sure what to troubleshoot next.

Remote Coding nd Port Forwarding Issue

I have Verizon FIOS Westall 9100 Router.
I am trying to set up remote coding for Port 6801 and my host IP 192.168.1.9 DHCP address.
I set up port forwarding - all TCP and UDP to Port 6801 to 192.168.1.9 and it shows as active with no conflicts.
Problem is that when my remote coding was attempted, the technician said the port is blocked. We tried for over an hour and also checked online through a port forwarding tool and it said it is blocked. I checked firewall router and it is on medium security which was recommended.
Can someone help me through this issue and make a recommendation to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Did you define the source and destination ports?
that router is finicky, it only likes it if the destination is defined
IOW it should look like this
192.168.1.9
TCP ANY -> 6801
If that ANY is a number, it likely will not work

Actiontec MI424WR rev I port forwarding issue.

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

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

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

ActionTec + second router = port forwarding issue

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

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