Hello Ujay62
To port forward on this device log into the router by going to 192.168.0.1 in your web browser should get a box asking for a log in. You want to use admin/password for the log in and then click on firewall settings on the left side. Then you want to enter the ports you want to open in the add a custom Rules area then click add.

defining a rule is not an issue. The rules stop working work after power failures and now even without any power failure. The rule will still be there when the modem comes back online after a power failure but trying to connect to the port fails (timout). In the past (until last week), I just changed the port to some other port and then it would work again but now even that does not work. What can I do to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks for your help.
Gaetano.

Just a quick update, only power failures are proven to cause this issue on my system. I was lead to think that a reboot also caused the same issue but in fact, the IP address had changed without me noticing. I did call Optus and they stated that they don't block access to that function (not directly anyway) but they also don't provide support on this functionality and ultimately, it does seem it is an issue originating with the router.

This modem is an absolute piece of junk.
port forwarding is not functional.
