Port Forwarding not working on WNR2000
I have a WNR2000v3 router with V1.1.2.12 firmware. I have 2 ports set to port forward, but when I try to access those ports, they are still closed. i have tried canyouseeme.org and tried from external sources (offsite computer and cell phones on 4G...not wifi). I had relative in another state try and still no access. Don't know why it is not working or what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
- I figured out what is wrong. My provider is using CGN which is preventing me from using port forwarding since they scramble the ports on their end. Thanks.

Hi Lonewolf41 Did you factory reset your unit after firmware upgrade? If not, kindly push the reset button for 10 seconds and then reconfigure.
By the way, what ports did you forward?
