       Firmware version?  Connected to what?

     

    > Hi i need to forward two ports

     

       Why?  Is there some actual problem which you are trying to solve?

       I don't know what that means, and none of it is a complete
    port-forwarding rule.  What, exactly, are you telling the router to do?

       What, exactly is the "nightmare"?  "on" _which_ "other" is everything
    so much simpler/better?  Unless this "other" has psychic powers, it's
    not obvious to me how you can expect to configure a port forwarding rule
    without specifying the Protocol(s), External Port(s), Internal Port(s),
    and Server IP address.  For what more does the RAX200 ask?


    > [...] got messedge

     

       I see the message. What I can't see is what you did to get it.

     

       Normally, for the usual problems with port forwarding, I'd suggest
    reading the thread linked below:

    But I got so little useful information from your "description" that I
    wouldn't bet that it would be helpful.

      Ok great just don't want use brand names that why I write "other" but I can write sure np and yes just in port forward works no any issue. 

       

      What I want to do ?

       

       192.168.1.5 is My home Assistant Ip address I try forward ports 443 for 8123 TCP

       192.168.1.10  is My Emby serwer Ip address I try forward ports 5052 for 8098   TCP

       

       

      What more I want to ? I want to just simple work nothing more choice all this setting and router that save that 

      no give me mystique "The specific ports are being used by other configuration"

       

      -  USB Ready share not use but  ports not use in this menu 443 ,8123,5052,8098

      -  Remote Megament used other ports and (Remote is dissabled)

      -  Port Forwarding Clean setup no any rule setup for now

      -  Port Triggering Clean setup no any rule setup for now

      -  UPnP disabled to not mess any config setup but is no matter disabled enabled messed still persist and forward port not saved.

       

      Connect Rax 200 for one device just to can use Web Based config router show connected devices 1 

      Still messedge "The specific ports are being used by other configuration"

       

      Other is:

      Ubiquity amplifi Alien 

      Xiaomi AX3600

       

       

      I disconnect this Rax connect in this place "other" have that same config network wifi (names) 

       

      I go to port forward choice:

      Click Click accept and work

       192.168.1.5 is My home Assistant Ip address I try forward ports 443 for 8123

       192.116.10  is My Emby serwer Ip address I try forward ports 5052 for 8098

       

      Ok I try to do that same witch Rax 200

       

      192.168.1.5 is My home Assistant Ip address I try forward ports 443 for 8123

      192.168.1.10  is My Emby server Ip address I try forward ports 5052 for 8098

      "The specific ports are being used by other configuration"

       

      Ok next scenario i reset Rax 200 for factory reset no changes just leave all like default  "Wifi network names password from ressets" on (stickers from router)

       

      I go to port forwarding  write  that same

      port forward 192.168.1.5 443 for 8123

      port forward  192.168.1.10 5052 for 8098

      I do that all work and accept no any messedge router save setting

       

      Next scenario factory reset Rax 200 setup all from beginning change wifi name for what I choose i setup my internet connection (i got state IP address) Got internet connection status is good 

       

      go to menu forward port 

      I go to port forward i write  that same

      port forward 192.168.1.5 443 for 8123

      port forward  192.168.1.10 5052 for 8098

       

      Messedge

      "The specific ports are being used by other configuration"

       

      Last step i do that same 

      on Other:

      Ubiquity amplifi Alien 

      Xiaomi AX3600

       

      I just write that same IP addresses and port forwarding work always no any error messedes conflict just router accept setting and start working.

       

      than if i got 3 different devices 

       

      no any network changes config , cables different devices 

       

      and on other  forward ports work instant save setting and just work

      On Rax 200 got all time 

      "The specific ports are being used by other configuration"

       

      Then don't tell is not nightmare got some mystique messedge port used and can save the setting. 

       

      Sorry my English not superb but i try to explain that much detail what i can.

       

      Then what no difference in config and on others that same config work on Rax 200 get 

      "The specific ports are being used by other configuration" used for what?

       

      And last info router on new firmware but I also try 3 older and that same problems
