I have this router setup and running just fine. Just wanted some clarification on the port forwarding page.
Everything I have forwarded I have setup manually. I have clicked the box next to "Use the same port range for Internal port" If I dont click that box, does it mean I can have someone goto port 2000 on the Wan side and be directed to say 1000 on the Wan side?
they use the address www.somehere.com:2000 and get redirectd to port 1000 on the wan side?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Silly me. 192.161.x.x is a public IP address. Sorry about that.
Remapping a port should usually work, but I can think of 2 reasons it won't:
- The application is embedding the port number in its data. The port forwarding logic won't be able to change it, so the application will not work. This is unlikely to happen, but nevertheless possible.
- There is a bug in the WNDR3700v4 port forwarding logic.
If you don't want to spend too much more time on this, why don't you change the port used by the camera? For example, set the HTTP port to 2009. Then you can use a straightforward, www.somewhere.com:2009 to forward to 192.168.1.2:2009, rule on the router.

Re: WNDR3700v4 port forwarding
If you go to the Advanced Home, does the IP address of the Internet/WAN port look like any of the following?
- 192.168.x.x
- 172.y.x.x where y between 16 and 31, inclusive
- 10.x.x.x
- 100.64.x.x
x can be any number between 0 and 255, inclusive.

Re: WNDR3700v4 port forwarding
Just to be clear, 192.161.x.x is on your WAN/Internet port, right? It's not your router's LAN IP address, right?
If 192.161.x.x is on your WAN/Internet port, then something upstream of your WNDR3700v4 is performing NAT. Port forwarding is not going to work on your router.

Re: WNDR3700v4 port forwarding
The right box (Internet port) shows 192.161.x.x
If I click on connection status in the right box I get
Ip address 192.161.x.x
Default gateway 192.161.x.1
DHCP server 209.55.0.135
DNS server 4.2.2.2. 4.2.2.3

Re: WNDR3700v4 port forwarding
www.somewhere.com:2009 to forward to 192.168.1.2:2009
I can't make a incoming Wan port go to a different lan port. Like
www.somewhere.com:2000 to forward to 192.186.1.2:80

Re: WNDR3700v4 port forwarding
I have changed all the camera ports, you can see this in on of the pictures. It would just be nice if I didn't have to. Make it easier to remember and save a few key strokes when accessing them from the lan side.
Also, if I was to upgrade or down grade the firmware, would it erase all my configuration of the router, port forward rules and such?. I'm sure it will but just wanted to verify

Re: WNDR3700v4 port forwarding
Two things:
- You should use https to insure that the video stream is encrypted.
- It's not a bad idea to not use the standard https port (i.e. 443). This will make it harder for hackers to stumble upon your camera, which is effectively exposed to the Internet.
As far as upgrading/downgrading, you may or may not lose your settings. The odds favor not losing them. If you notice any weird behavior after installing new firmware, beyond the brokenness of port forward, then you should perform a factory reset.
