Cannot specify port 65535

Question

I'm trying to apply port forwarding to my gaming PC. It is hardwired to the router. When I go into port forwarding options for the router, it says I can only select ports 1-65534. I specifically need to be able to choose port 65535. Please help, not sure what's going on

Sorry but this does not help. I know how to port forward, but my range of ports is limited (the max is one less than I want). Any reasons for this??

Does .34 work?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Possible that .35 is closed for NG routers for other purposes or uPnP.&nbsp;
Did you disable uPnP before configuring ports?&nbsp;
