Port forwarding not working R7000
Hello. So I just got a R7000, mainly for better wifi and a better port forwarding experience. The wifi works great but haven't had any luck with the port forwarding. It just doesn't work allthough I...
The Cisco router is still in place?
If so, you are double-routing. You need to change the forwarding rules in the Cisco, so that all the open ports are forwarded to the R7000 WAN port. Then re-forward them from the R7000 to the appropriate WAN port.
If the Cisco router lets you put a device in the "DMZ" you can also try put the R7000 in the DMZ, and remove all forwarding rules in the Cisco router.
A third option is to set up the R7000 in AP mode, and use it only for WiFi.
