Port forwarding aircard 810s not working
Hi there, The port forwarding functionality does NOT work on the Aircard 810s. I have enable port forwarding and added varouis port. But stiil all of the added port remains closed when i nmap to...
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.

Attachments have no such limitation. Of course, attachments have their

I don't understand "via the local as public ip". An IP address can
be local/private or external/public. They're different. An actual
address might be more helpful than your description of an actual
address.

Still true. Port forwarding couldn't possibly work from the router's
LAN IP address. If it did, and you configured port forwarding for a web
server on port 80, then you could never again reach the router's
management web server (at the router's LAN IP address and port 80).

I don't know what that means, either. "get" _how_?
None of that is a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.

Did you run any of those tests? Or think about what it said?
Ok I added ports like, 22, 443 and 5900 that point to a specific IP. Then I did a scan with nmap to see if the ports are really open. Like: nmap -p 22,433,5900 192.168.1.1 Via the private and public IP you will receive a message that thee port state is closed or filtered.
With every other router I've ever done this, I could immediately see that the port was open. So what am I doing wrong or what should be on or off to get this working.

In the following, which part of "couldn't possibly work" was unclear

For one thing, as already explained (repeatedly), probing/testing the
router's _LAN_ IP address is pointless.> [...] what should be on or off to get this working.
Wrong question. You might try reading the "usual problems" posting
cited earlier, and answering the questions there:> > https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1859106
For example, what's the WAN/Internet IP address of the router?
What's at "192.168.1.74"? And so on...> With every other router I've ever done this, I could immediately see
> that the port was open.With my weak psychic powers, I can't see what you might have done
with what in the past, but I'd bet that, whatever you did with whatever
you had, if it worked, then it was different. Because what you're doing
now couldn't possibly work.Ok, you keep dissecting everything I say and how I say it. The point is that I did everything according to the manual and the ports are still not accessible. Not via nmap and also not in other ways. Regardless of which ip they point to, my experience with other routers is that I can immediately tell if the ports are available when I scan for them. So please, do you have a solution or not? The other link you provide does not help either.
And by the way, when I scan for port 80, it does indicate nicly that it is open. so you would say that it should also indicate that for the ports that I entered it would indicate that they are open? But in contrast they are still closed.
