    What Firmware is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

  • do you have Upnp enabled? if you do and no open nat then go to advanced settings in the router, click on port fowarding. then click on add custom service. a list of every device on your router will pop up. check the device you want to foward ports on. under servic name add that device name. at external port add port numbers with commas detween diffrent port numbers if adding more than one port. click on internal port and it will load be it self, basicaly what you added in external. if you not sure which protocol your games using chech both TCP/UDP
