port forwarding doesnt work with PR60X router and M4300-48X switch
I am unable to get the public IP to forward to an internal IP. I've setup port forwarding many times, but I can't get it working on this equipment. I'm using a PR60X router and a M4300-48X switch. ...

Quick question: when you try to access 192.168.182.100:80 from internal, is it auto redirecting to https? If so, would you please try port forwarding to port 443 instead of 80. Thanks.

Dear op3c ... being much to long around consumer and many small business market much to long: How does the PR60X properly handle the wonderful port 80/TCP port-forwarding example from the RT*M (!!!) without being intercepted by some other smart-a-**** ideas often shamelessly specified by carless product managers?
Needless to say, on a small business class multi WAN NAT router, which should cover virtually any use case, say to operate a https server NAT port forwarded on the industry standard port 443/TCP, or drawing the design a little bit ahead to the VPN implementations covering SSL-VPN -also- using 443/TCP, or for the sake of it the convenient OpenVPN using 1193/UDP without interfering with whatever valid services your customers intend to operate on a NATed port-forwarded say a WireGuard service on port 51820/UDP - without making it impossible to operate such a service on the very same security appliance, similar limitations on IPsec ... this is what a PR60X should be (or become mid term). Isn't all this on the Netgear shareholders plans?
Or can we talk about the complete lack of a proper NAT implementation beyond of the consumer class IPv4 NAT forwarding Netgear does continue to push as the one and only solution on what is supposed to be a fully fledged dual-WAN-router?
Or can we discuss about the (non-existing!) object oriented firewall design? Netgear is decades behind the competition which does have these features in the 4th or 5th iteration already.
Back to specifications, back to in-depth beta testing with this half-baked, unfinished "product" please. Netgear is still stuck in the late 1990ties!
Netgear is one or two decades behind the competition, many years to late.
