Nighthawk Rax120 AX6000 plex port forwarding
After installing this router both ny netgear NAS 516 and 316 can no longer send alert messages
or update antivirus i configured this router with the same port forwarding as the old BT homehub 6 but...
Reads more like a different issue, unrelated to port forwarding. Have posted how to test the email notifications on ReadyNAS -> https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/RN104-OS695-unable-to-send-alert-messages/m-p/1743238
NAS messaging was all working fine before installing new RAX120 router swapped back old BT home hub all works problem is a setting in the router it is blocking outgoing from the NAS was also blocking Plex server on the NAS remote access
is your NAT type set to "secure" or "open"?
I did look at that but when googled it said Open took down all your security leaving everything else computers etc vunerable so didnt try it is that the problem if its secure
That's not true. Secured NAT only modifies a few things and will not expose your computers to the wild Internet. Secured NAT can interfere with things, though. Secured NAT is a "NETGEAR only" thing that advertises to "protect" you more at the expense of blocking too much, like blocking fully ICMPv6 in case of IPv6 (as an example). Same thing for IPv4
Try setting it to open and see if your problem goes away. If it doesn't, we'll look at other things. I have mine set to open since I bought my R7800 (more than a year ago) and have yet to encounter any wrongdoing from the Internet. It interferes with a few services I run, though, when set to secured
