R6080 Firewall isn't operating correctly
Recently, I've been having an issue with all my devices, and my R6080 router. A few days ago, I tried to enable a Port Foward. When I found out the packets were still being dropped, I tried to enable...
Hi,
Currently, as far as I know, it's on all my devices. I'm using the generic Windows packet tool with some generic port scanners. It's connected to an Arris modem, and it's over wireless and wired. I can't connect directly to my modem.
Which arris modem?
And why can't you directly connect to the modem?
The modem is much older, and I can't get a model number, since I'm currently not at my house.
understood its old.
when you can get a model number, post it on here.
Also, why can't you directly connect to the modem?

"an issue"? Care to elaborate?

That could mean almost anything. What did you actually do? Why? Is
there some actual problem which you are trying to solve?> [...] When I found out the packets were still being dropped, [...]
How, exactly, did you find out what, exactly?

"tried"? How, exactly? Doing port forwarding and using a DMZ server
do not go well together.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.

You don't seem to know enough about this stuff to make your analysis
of the problem worth anything. What _might_ be helpful would be if you
described accurately what you're doing, and what happens when you do it.
What you think it all means is much less interesting.> [...] or the settings aren't taking effect.
With my weak psychic powers, I can't see any of your "the settings".
What "effect" were you expecting to detect how?For the usual problems with port forwarding, see:

> Which arris modem?The real question is whether it's a simple modem or a modem+router.
Cascading multiple routers has implications for port forwarding.
