Port Forwarding issues
Wan IP address is 172.103.xxx.xx
1. Did enable "remote management" on port 8843
When I check if the port is open, yes it is. When I go to 172.103.xxx.xx:8843 from my home network I do get to the routers admin page. So its all fine, but when I go the same address from outside, the port is still shown as open but Im getting an error "The site cannot be reached"
2. I did enable port forwarding for port 1001 (internal and external), but I cannot reach this url from outside and when I test port it says that port is closed. Why is it closed when I did set port forwarding? What else I should do?
I have figured what it was.
The IP Camera network settings was done properly. The gateway and DNS IPs was left from the previous router. Thats why it did locally but not remotely.
