I've tried everything to port forward league of legends ports (which are essential to not get lag spikes in game). But after testing on http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ it says that its not open. I couldnt find a solution on internet (ive searched for ~10 hours) for my new D-Link DIR-825/AC which has only Virtual Servers and no Port Forwarding and also no guide how to port forward on this router. What should i do? I have a lot of questions about networking, but i hope someone can just help me out how to port forward league of legends ports (https://gyazo.com/7e2f690e1e7a815f4ed2ea2246a495ec) on this router : https://gyazo.com/2379f2cc06faf0b447704563c555e4c2.

All kind of help will be appreciated a lot. I hope to meet a real networking experts there who will help to find a solution for me.

Hello once again everyone, so after checking everything, lots of testing ive found the real issue about this. Its simply my ISP. I went to my grandfathers place with my router and pc to play some games and test if it lags and guess what? It was working perfectly all 8 games with same pc and router and at my home it lags every 10 MINUTES from 1 to 10 seconds (1 game length ~20-50 minutes). So it was my ISP causing this for 1 month, ive changed internet speed, router and even reinstalled windows a few times thinking it was my fault. But i was also suspecting it might do something with internet provider, because 1 month ago after renewing contract for 2 years 1 week later all those lags started randomly happening.

TL:DR DLINK 825 A/C...

Hello... We used to have set Port Forwarding for earlier versions of StarCraft/Blizzard games... you have to add them to your router/Modem and also add them to your Windows OS "Firewall settings"

For your Router/Modem look in the "advanced" area/menu for "port forwarding" You type in (list) the port type UDP and/or TCP and the Port address/ID for them and save the results... that's where my setting is... not in the Firewall section. B /

For Windows it is in the "Firewall settings" advanced settings-inbound rules-New rule

It is urgent, because im proffessional league of legends player and its impossible to play with lagspikes and "attempting to reconnect" every 10 mins from 1 to 10 secs.

Here is the picture of current "Virtual servers" setup: https://gyazo.com/ce9463fd6f77d6c2fad47887b55df28c

Ironsounds, i have windows OS Firewall completely disabled in services, same as windows defender, so its not the case.
For router there is no "Port Forwarding option" in Advanced menu, take a look there : https://gyazo.com/4386d84665a7bdefe57baf271aef1e0e
Maybe its UPnP IGD? (i have no clue really and i've tried everything).

If it will help here is the emulator of exact same router as i have: http://em.dlink.ru/emul/DIR-825AC/#start/storInfo (you just need to change language to english).

Jaxon Hennings, yeah this router seems to be a bit complicated. I even tried to turning on DMZ (which enables all possible ports) and my ports are still not open while checking on websites (tried 3 different ones). So i thought maybe its router firewall blocking it, but there is no option in router menu to disable firewall. Its giving me headache already :D
The only ports, who seems be to open are 80 and 443 (i dont even know how).

IS league of legends running when you test if the ports are open, if there is no service listening on those ports they are technically shut.

Also forgot to mention, that when im connecting internet cable directly to pc i have no problems, so it means ISP is not blocking any ports. It is my router configuration problems, which i really don't know how to deal with (im using LAN cable from router to pc).

When a router's port forwarding configuration has a "Remote IP" entry, the entry should be set to "0.0.0.0" unless there is only one outside address that you want to allow. For a gaming server, set to all zeroes.

Also, be sure that your game is running when you use an online port checking tool.

Hello... I found this... and it shows Port forwarding in the menu... B /
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iLUEeZO-b0

Does the /AC model not have the option? B /

Like I said... I've always found it under advanced setting in the modem/router menus, with all the different brands I've set up... you could have a reduced firmware/feature/clone model? Quit fighting with it, return it, and pick up one with a simple menu entry "Port Forwarding" to do this with. B /

TL:DR DLINK 825 A/C Router is working perfectly fine and its "Virtual server" is working exactly as "Port Forwarding" in other routers.
It was my ISP causing lags.

Now only thing i need to do is to force them to fix it and if they dont i will need to appeal to Consumer Protection Office.
