CAX80 Port Forwarding Not working
I am on firmware verison 2.1.3.5 I recieved my CAX80 a couple days ago I have tried multiple times to forward ports manually. The only way i have been sucessfull to get to anything outside of...
to my NVR's and my Patch Management system. If i have UPNP on things work fine, but when i turn UPNP off and try to forward using manual port forwarding it keeps telling me that those specified ports are already in use. I would much rather be doing manual port forwarding since UPNP leaves the network at risk for attack
Just wanted to let everyone know that the port fowarding issue has been fixed with a beta firmware version that Netgear provided. Thanks again for all the help :)

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I'm glad the beta firmware works for you. The newest firmware, Firmware Version V2.1.3.7 solves the problem! 🙂
