Port Forward Not Working - C6300 AC1750
I have a server set at 192.168.0.100 for port 80 but the port forward is not working. I turned off the Media Server for the USB ReadyShare. If type my IP address it simply takes me to the router l...
Hi
I have all these problems with my new C6300
All worked fine on my old linksys router.
Interface terribly slow.
Port forwarding not working properly for port 80. Internally direct to the server on HTTP, FTP, and RDP all work fine.
From external or public IP the poert forward does not work for FTP RDP or HTTP
RDP just plain does not respond
HTTP always goes to the router admin (with or without remote management enables)
FTP when trying to port forward give an error saying the poer is in use elsewhere. BUT NOWHERE can I find the confict on any of the router setup pages.
Spent 2 hours with 1st level support with him loged into my computer before I had to ask if we could escalate to the next level of support. He agreed.
But I had to wait all day to talk to them
I spent another 2 hours with 2nd level support logged in with team viewer. He finally said it was a bug in the C6300 and woukld escalate it to engineering.
Finding this post indicates to me that netgear has known about the problem and is in no hurry to fix this.
Thos router is critical to my home biziness and really needs to work as a REAL router.
Any Ideas, anyone know if a fix is close, if not another suitable modem/router for Time Warner recomendation THAT WORKS?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hello john
Port 80 can not be forward because it is reserved for our ready share functions.

Hello,
My name is Jamie Wright and I am a software developer as well as a hardware technician.
I recently purchased the Telstra Gateway Max (Netgear C6300) and would like to advise that the port forward, DMZ and UPNP features do not work even though they are present in the modem routers settings.
After hours of trial and error and research I have found that this particular router has bugs and requires a firmware fix in order to allow ports to open. I run a full time business and have a server as well as cameras I need to access externally and need to open ports to be able to get into my internal network.
If you don’t believe that there is a serious issue with this router, here are some links from a simple search result "netgear c6300 port forwarding not working" or "telstra gateway max port forwarding" and you will see there are a lot of other people having this issue. Here are some links:
I would like to know when this issue will be fixed as this is critical to my business and needs to be resolved because netgear and Telstra are selling modem routers that are broken.
FYI, I have an old G3100 Telstra modem here that I tried and port forwarding works a treat however I have purposely upgraded to this C6300 for better wireless capabilities and now I’m running into this serious issue. I also tried to set the C6300 in DMZ mode and it doesn’t allow any ports to function through this mode therefore all access to my internal network are blocked.
Please advise if there a fix in place or when there will be a fix so this can be sorted. If it can’t be sorted then I will need to seek advice from the ACCC or I will need to cancel my cable connection.
Regards,
Jamie Wright.
