Opening Port for a Program/Port Forwarding
Hi,
I have a Netgear C3000-100NAS
I opened a certain port in my advanced settings.
I went to a third-party website to check if my port was opened.
It said it was closed still.
I would like some help trouble-shooting my issue.
Thank you!

Hi I fixed it. I had to set up a static IP address on my PC. I used this guide:

Hello chickenqv1
Have you made sure to use address reservation on the PC you are trying to port forward?
