R7000 Port Forwarding Not Working

I'm trying to get a program called Fantasy Grounds working, and it requires port forwarding of port 1802. I've done this on the same ISP at other locations, and recently moved to a new place in the same city, same ISP. But now I have a R7000 Nighthawk router. 

 

I set my PC to a static IP address, and also set a reservation for it in the router interface to make sure nothing else gained that address and causes a conflict. (192.168.1.78 is the address)

 

Then in the router interface (web), under Advanced > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding / Port Triggering I setup a rule for a new custom service for Fantasy Grounds, setting the internal/external ports to 1802 pointing to the internal IP address 192.168.1.78. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I went to canyouseeme.org to test the port forwarding, and it times out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My firmware version is: V1.0.9.34_10.2.36

 

Is there something I'm missing?

  • is the program running when you use that website to check the port status? if the program is not running, that website will report the port as closed
