Port Fowarding r6120

[carcanox32]

hello i can't seem to open port with my router i was working well before i move out of my old place

my router is connected to a modem.

Here what i try so far is:

i open a port through my router the port was 12050 TCP and UDP

i check if the port was open with Portforward.com and it say that is not open

i try different port

i try to disable my window firewall and make rule for the software i want to use the port

i made a static ip for my computer

after all this i can't figure what wrong cause at my old place everything was working fine

if you guy could help me it would be really appreciate 

if you need more info just said it.

thanks !

window 10

router Version is :V1.0.0.82

model: R6120T

The software i want to use port is BYOND.

Online port checkers need something listening on the port to report it open. If you have no service listening on that port(s), they'll report it as closed or stealth

What modem/gateway is your router connected to?

[carcanox32]

there is no modem. i dont see one, my router is connected to a little box outside and then on the antenna on the roof

[plemans]

broadcast internet. 

we always run into issues with broadcast internet. Not sure if its because they're operator side nat/routing or what. 

[carcanox32]

i did call my operator and he said that is was not it fault the problem was not by him!

[plemans]

I'm sure they did say that. What I'm saying is we see issues with things like this along using broadcast internet. Not sure if its because they use their own routing/nat/filtering or what. I haven't found a good answer for it yet. 

[carcanox32]

ok so what is the best to do about that ?

[plemans]

I don't have an answer for you. Like I said, I've seen it numerous times with people who use broadcast internet and I haven't found a solution that worked well. I've seen some use the DMZ but thats really not a very secure way as it opens the device you put in the dmz to pretty much everyone.

Which ISP is at the other end of this box?

You could try a search here for it.

As @plemans says, "broadcast internet" isn't common. So there isn't much collective wisdom here on the subject.
