Night hawk X6 R8000 - Opening ALL ports
I would like to OPEN all ports on my router and simply use it as a SMART switch that dishes out Internal IP addresses. NO port filtering at all. JUST want it WIDE OPEN. It seems to not like FTP transfers very much so I need and want to just open her wide up and let all ports be open to all computers on my network. HOW DO I DO THIS?
Thank you in advance.
