Port Forwarding after Dumb Switch Bypass Completed
I have an RAX48 router and ATT 1Gbps service. I’ve completed the Dumb Switch bypass and it works great. I still have one problem though. I can’t seem to get the RAX48 to successfully setup port forwarding. If I use the ATT BGW210-700 to setup port forwarding, the ports remain open when I connect the RAX48. If I try to setup port forwarding with the RAX48 (after dumb switch bypass completed), the ports remain closed. Any ideas how to correct this? I’d like to setup VPN access on my RAX48.
- Update: I reset the router and it works now. I had performed multiple resets in the past without success but for some reason it fixed my problem this time. Who knows, just glad it works now!
