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.

- good morning, did hard reset and the action of of no help. remote management port 8443 is open and 1001 still not.
I have been thinking that the problem could be with port numbers and have new port 8441 to remote management and assigned 8443 to IP camera. the result is 8441 is open and 8443 is not... what could be the issue?So, you changed the setting on the camera to use port 8443 and changed the port forwarding rule to 8443?
Is the port forwarding rule pointing to the IP address of the camera?
How are you testing whether the port is open?

I missed the fact that you used a static IP address on your camera due to another one of your typos. You wouldn't have had this problem using DHCP. Glad you got it working.
