I used to be connected to my router with an ethernet cable but the router is no longer close to my computer so I cant. when i was connected with ethernet I was able to portforward very easily on my router website, but now i can go on there and put a port in but it will not portforward it even if it says it does. is there any way to fix this or any alternate routes to portforward ?

Most consumer routers have WiFi admin OFF.
Meaning you cannot change settings unless you are connected via an ethernet cable.

This is a good thing.

Port-Forwarding works on IP addresses, so as long as you have valid IP address from the same router, you should be able to do whatever you need.

Unless you have a crappy router who treats Ethernet and WiFi as separate networks, or you are connected to WiFi Guest network.
