Hello all,
I recently bought a TPlink TL-WR841N to replace my E1200 linksys router. The latter router was acting up and I could not update the firmware, so I figured a new router was in order.
Sidenote, there is a main modem/router from Verizon. The routers mentioned above were for extending wireless range upstairs.
Everything works great except for a program I use called gameranger. It uses UDP port 16000.
On the old router, I would forward the port on the Verizon router for the IP address of the upstairs router. Then I would forward the IP address of my computer on the upstairs router. Both the router and my computer are configured to have static IPs.
I did the same thing with my new router and the port remains closed.
I am able to configure it for remote desktop (using 3389 and it works no problem), but the 16000 port for gameranger does not work..
Any clues? Thanks in advance
