c6300 port forward not working
I had old cable modem and my router had supposedly given up, so I bought netgear c6300 cable modem and router. I have done the port foward setup similar to how I had in the past, but it is not workin...
Hello Tsaltzma
I know port 80 can not be froward on Netgear routers as it is used by the router for the HTTP server I will have to check about port 443.

Every port I have tried doesn't work except for the one the router opens to allow remote administration.
Hello tsaltzma
We use port 443 for HTTPS for secure readyshare access

This problem was never resolved, and now I have another issue which I believe is due to the same problem. I have an Insteon Hub(smart home), and I just got a new version of it. I have hooked up the new version just as I did with the old, and it starts to setup the hub but always fails. The new one is supposed to automatically setup port forwarding by itself, but if port forwarding is not working on my netgear, this will not do anything. I could use a little help here. Any more ideas, or should I just junk this cable modem I just bought and switch to another company?
Hello tsaltzma
Have you tried to manually enter in the port forwarding for the Insteon Hub? Also have you done a factory reset on the c6300 and then try to port forward again?
