I upgraded my router to a Linksys EA6900 and I go into the apps and games settings and port forward like normal, but whenever I test it always shows as unreachable. I've tried DMZ and turning off my firewall. Any suggestions?
 
Solution


Can only offer the usual:

Set a reserved or static IP address for the computer.
Ensure the IP address matches the port forward rule.
Make sure the router has the latest firmware.
Check that the Linksys is getting a public WAN IP.

The EA9200 has an identical GUI.

Any other specific details that you can provide will be helpful.
Did port forwarding work fine with your previous router?
For what application are your trying to port forward?
What is the make and model of your modem?
A screenshot of the port forwarding page on the Linksys could prove helpful.
Please provide any other info that you feel is relevant to the problem.
