Need help port forwarding

I have a Nighthawk AX4, AX3000 Model RAX35.

I need help port-forwarding port 44158.

 

When I try doing this, I get the message, "The specified port(s) are being used by other configurations. Please check your configurations of USB Readyshare, Remote Management, Port forwarding, Port Triggering, UPnP Port Mapping table, RIP, and Internet connection type"

 

The port I need is for IP address 192.168.1.28

I want to open port 44158.

 

How can I do this, please?

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

 

Is uPnP disabled before you set up a PF/PT rule?

You might try configuring Port Triggering for that port #:

Re: Need help port forwarding

Thanks for your reply!

 

1.What Firmware version is currently loaded?  How do you find that?

When I was on the Netgear software I clicked the 'update' button, and it said there was no firmware update available.


2.What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? The modem is a Comcast modem.

 

3. Is uPnP disabled before you set up a PF/PT rule? No. probably not. What is uPNP?

Thank you.

 

I turned UPNP on, and it appears the ports are being forwarded now. 

 

I'll test it and see what happens.  : )
