&gt; Ok, you keep dissecting everything I say and how I say it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That's what happens when I can't understand what you mean.&nbsp;&gt; The point is that I did everything according to the manual and the&gt; ports are still not accessible.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That tells me nothing about what you did, which "the manual", or howyou did the test which said "not accessible".&nbsp; Which part of "actualactions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LEDindicators, ...)" was unclear?&nbsp; "I did everything right" is not a usefuldescription of anything.&nbsp; (As well as being improbable.)&nbsp;&gt; Not via nmap and also not in other ways.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As I said, I would not expect the "nmap" command which you showed towork as you seem to expect.&nbsp; The results which you say you got from thatcommand looked reasonable to me.&nbsp; If you expect to see evidence of portforwarding, then I'd be talking to the router's WAN/Internet interface,not its LAN interface.&nbsp;&nbsp; And, with my weak psychic powers, "other ways" also tells me nothing.&gt; Regardless of which ip they point to, my experience with other routers&gt; is that I can immediately tell if the ports are available when I scan&gt; for them.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I don't care if your "experience" says that you can spin straw intogold.&nbsp; I'm trying to understand what you're doing now, with this router,and you're not answering the questions, or providing any other usefulinformation.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have no trouble with _my_ port forwarding.&nbsp;&gt; So please, do you have a solution or not?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Already given.&nbsp; If you want more details, then you'd need to providemore and better answers to (previously asked) questions.&nbsp;&gt; The other link you provide does not help either.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Then there may be nothing more which I can do for you.&gt; And by the way, when I scan for port 80, it does indicate nicly that&gt; it is open. [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ok.&nbsp; And if you point a web browser at it, what do you see? &nbsp; _Your_web server, or the router's web server?&gt; [...] so you would say that it should also indicate that for the ports&gt; that I entered it would indicate that they are open? [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No.&nbsp; As I've said repeatedly, "Port forwarding couldn't possibly workfrom the router's LAN IP address."&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In my experience, people who talk about ports being "open" or"closed" often don't understand the problem.&nbsp; And, unless you startproviding some basic information (and soon), I would not expect yourunderstanding to improve.&nbsp; At least not with my help.&nbsp; There are limitsto how much of my time I'm willing to waste on someone who "knows" somuch that answering basic questions is too difficult.

&gt; The port forwarding functionality does NOT work on the Aircard 810s.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Or, it doesn't work the way you expect.&nbsp;&gt; I have enable port forwarding and added varouis port. [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Not a very detailed description of anything.&nbsp; What are your actualport-forwarding rules?&nbsp; What are they supposed to do?&nbsp;&gt; [...] But stiil all of the added port remains closed when i nmap to&gt; the router on the local as the public IP.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The router's LAN IP address is different from its WAN/Internet IPaddress.&nbsp; I would not expect port forwarding to be effective when youspecify the router's LAN IP address.&nbsp;&gt; The only 2 ports that are open are, port 80 (DMZ enabled) and 53.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Those would be the router's management web site, and its DNS server,respectively.&nbsp; Looks normal to me.&gt; So there's defenetly someting worg with the firmwire. [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Not really.&nbsp;&gt; [...] I need a fast fix!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; _You_ might, but there's no evidence here that the router firmwaredoes.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What's the IP address of the router's WAN/Internet interface?&nbsp; Haveyou tried testing that?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For the usual problems with port forwarding, see:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1859106&nbsp;(That posting does not include talking to the wrong side of the router,but, if you have other problems, you might find it helpful.)

Ok here a screenshot of my ports i want forward:

And to my basic understanding, when this is set i should see that the port is open when i namp to the router via the local as public ip. But localy i get that the port is filterd and publicy i get that de port is closed.

&gt; Ok here a screenshot of my ports i want forward:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I can't (yet) see your picture.&nbsp; In-line images must be approved bya moderator before others can see them.&nbsp; The time required varies.Attachments have no such limitation.&nbsp; Of course, attachments have theirown one-per-message limitation.&nbsp;&gt; And to my basic understanding, when this is set i should see that the&gt; port is open when i namp to the router via the local as public ip.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I don't understand "via the local as public ip".&nbsp; An IP address canbe local/private or external/public.&nbsp; They're different.&nbsp; An actualaddress might be more helpful than your description of an actualaddress.&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The router's LAN IP address is different from its WAN/Internet IP&gt; address.&nbsp; I would not expect port forwarding to be effective when you&gt; specify the router's LAN IP address.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Still true.&nbsp; Port forwarding couldn't possibly work from the router'sLAN IP address.&nbsp; If it did, and you configured port forwarding for a webserver on port 80, then you could never again reach the router'smanagement web server (at the router's LAN IP address and port 80).&gt; [...] But localy i get that the port is filterd and publicy i get that&gt; de port is closed.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I don't know what that means, either.&nbsp; "get" _how_?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; None of that is a useful problem description. It does not say whatyou did.&nbsp; It does not say what happened when you did it.&nbsp; As usual,showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (errormessages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vaguedescriptions or interpretations.&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1859106&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Did you run any of those tests?&nbsp; Or think about what it said?
