Help in port forwarding in 2 router setup.

Sparkyy · Jul 24, 2015

I have an Iball Baton (Modem + router) non wifi, and a Netgear WNR614 for the wifi connected together to 1 PC.
I need to port forward 7575 UDP for a game.
I just can't set it up.
I followed these 2 guides and still the problem persists the ports are not forwarded...

Is there any particular reason you're using two routers? There could be easier ways to accomplish the setup you're going for.

Just because I know it's a common problem with multi-router home networks, have you checked your second router to ensure that DHCP is turned off?

Sparkyy · Jul 24, 2015

yes reason is that my base iball modem + router does not provide wifi, so i need to use netgear wifi router.
Now by second router which one do you mean? Iball or netgear?

Botnus · Jul 24, 2015

Sorry, I meant Netgear as your second router.

ih i turn off dhcp in either of them me internet stops working completely.
I had to reset both after i tried this

Sparkyy · Jul 24, 2015

ok so i just realized i dont have a static IP, its dynamic.
Do i have any chances of having port forwarded? i believe yes its just that i will have to keep changing the server IP everytime my setup gets a new one.
So still help.

So lets assume you can get port forwarding configured and working with just your router/modem ignoring the netgear. I have never seen that model so I can be of little help.

So now your only problem should be you want wireless. The easiest solution to that is to use your netgear as a AP rather than a router. It is mostly just cabling to the lan port and turning off dhcp on the netgear but there are tons of things if you search "how to use router as AP"

Using the netgear as a AP solves the port forwarding issue because the router of your second router is not being used when you run as AP.

okay? i'll test and report back thanks for the advice

Sparkyy · Jul 24, 2015

Seriously guys i cannot just find a guide for my specific router (WNR614).
In general NetGear router have a AP mode setting under advance setup but my setup page does not have any, I am on the latest firmware from netgear.

Sparkyy :

You do not need a setting in the router.

You plug the cable into the lan jack leave wan empty. Turn off the dhcp and set the lan ip to something that does not conflict.

bill001g :

OK I was able to make the router an access point but now the problem is that my base modem/router has only 1 Ethernet port so I cannot connect it to the pc then :/

bill001g · Jul 24, 2015

Plug the pc into the AP. The AP is acting as a switch and you should be able to use all the extra ethernet ports on the netgear

Okay I'll try this once I'm at my home ,ATM at the college.

Sparkyy · Jul 25, 2015

eh now the router page wont open up for me (internet works fine tho) .
the page says 403 forbidden
i mean the Iball modem/router which i use as base modem.

bill001g · Jul 25, 2015

Unplug the other device and see if you can get in. You have to make sure you change the ip on the AP to not be the same as the main router . If the main router is 192.168.1.1 set the AP to something like 192.168.1.200

Sparkyy · Jul 25, 2015

Yes i think i have configured it correctly.
1) disabled DHCP server on netgear router.
2) Set its LAN IP to 192.168.1.55

My main router gives me TPv4 address 192.168.1.2 and gateway to be 192.168.1.1 and the dhcp range is from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.50

NOTE: the internet in my pc works fine but in wifi my smartphone wont connect (stuck on obtaining IP address).

To do a little experimenting I had this really old ZTE ZXDSL 831AII modem/router, so I plugged it in and made AP configured according to it, in this try everything worked fine but I couldn't forward the ports, and I believe its a issue due to it being real old (almost 7-8 years)

Sparkyy · Jul 25, 2015

Okay so I tested the Iball Mode/router in 3 different PCs and the modem setup page just wont open in any of them.
Guess it's done.

So i get Error in port forwarding in my old router i'll post it here please see if you can help me with it.

okay so after 2-3 continous tries it decided to work all of a sudden (my 7 year old modem).
Thanks everyone for helping, much appreciated.
