C3000-Port forwarding issues

Question

I have setup port forwarding on the above mentioned router, however the port is still closed when its checked using online tools. I have done lots of reading on port forward but still can't seem to succeed with my router. Please help. The ports set for remote router access are working fine and not the ports i have picked.

I was able to get the port open simply by adding the internal IP to the DMZ.

I don't believe this is the right way of doing it, that's assigning the application/service as DMZ server. It doesn't feel right. Any other ways to fix these issues?

Hello Sika&nbsp;

What ports are you trying to open sometimes certain ones are blocked by the Isp others are reserved on the router for functions.

hello DarrenM,For starters thankyou for your response. I have tried several ports, 80, 443, and 350 and all of them are closed.&nbsp;

Hello skia

&nbsp;

I know that 80 and 443 typically are closed and cant be forward.
