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 s...
I found the solution on another forum. This is definitely a bug in the firmware.
There is a low threshold on the static IP address it will allow forwarding to. I was at .78 which was too high. I put my static IP to .10, and then pointed the rule to my new static IP and it worked.
To test this I put my static up to .101 and adjusted the rule. It failed again. I put it back to .10, and it worked again.
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

No dice. Still not working.
did you punch a hole in the Windows/MacOS firewall?
canyouseeme.org is checking if the port is open on my router, and is probing off the public IP address. However, just to be thurough, I added both a TCP and UDP entry for port 1802 in the windows firewall...still times out.
I have a set of google wifi routers, and took the Nighthawk off the network. After adding a port forwarding rule for 1802, to my internal IP, the test completed successfully.
So this is definitely the R7000, and something goofy going on with its port forwarding rules.
