RAX120 ss Through port forwarding PPTP not working.

This worked on my old router but not on my new one. Forwarding port 1723 and 47 TCP and UDP to the target system. Works direct to modem and works on old router. What am I missing?

      I'm having the same issues with port forwarding - none are working.

       

      Also, can't access router remotely even when Remote Mangement is enabled.

        Your ISP does any kind of carrier grade NAT? Compare the "what is my IP address" with the IP address the router does show assigned on the Internet/WAN port - if not the same, figure.

      Hello Williaml99 & msedhom, 

       

      After you've done the port forwarding, can you confirm that the ports are open using a third part port checker site (ping.eu). Looking forward to your updates!
