Nighthawk R7000P Port Forwarding Not Working
Firmware V1.3.1.64_10.1.36
I have a Synology NAS which is setup to automatically connect to router and setup required port forwarding using UPnP. I am also using Synology DDNS service.
I have confirmed that the NAS is correctly setting the UPnP port forwarding rules as below. I used powershell command to test connection, with failes results also below. Attempted direct connection to URL and also to one of the forwarded ports. I can see that the URL resolves to the correct static IP verifying that the Synology DDNS service is working however the connection times out.
For info, I have attempted manual setup of the same port forwarding rules with the same result.
Anyone have any ideas? Any way I can test the port forwarding independent of the final NAS server to rule out some issue on the NAS?
Turns out my suspicions were correct and it was ISP settings. Quick 2 minute webchat to my ISP and everything is woring correctly. Wish I had of started here...
Hopefully someone trawling forums for solutions comes accross this.

incoming connections.For the usual problems with port forwarding, see:
Photos appear to be working now. I'm starting to suspect its something to do with ISP setup? How can I troubleshoot further? My only concern is where some others have mentioned updating firmware or even rolling back firmware has solved uPnP issues
