Port forwarding - UDP 5081
Hello everyone,
I have an issue with port forwarding UDP 5081 port.
I was asked to port forward it by ubisoft for a game, however it appears that the port is in use. Problem is, I cannot find anywhere where it could be used on the router, I was wondering if it's used somewhere out of scope of manageable settings of router or if there's a way to fix this?

Thank you.

Your R6220 is not a Nighthawk router.
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
Apologies for all the questions. But you can help people to help you by providing the information suggested in this forum's header:
