So i have been trying to port forward for a while on my new router now. I have a Sagecom fast 5620 . I'm trying to make a server for terraria.
https://gyazo.com/ea4611857062212b271fd1b9c67c7087

This is what the interface looks like. I set external host to 0.0.0.0 and both ports to 7777(terraria's default port) but i don't know what to set the internal host to. I set it to my routers ipv4 and that didnt work. I can't set it to my public ip because i get an error(invalid ip) . Same with leaving it blank. any help would be very appreciated.

Sounds like you got everything correct except the internal host. This should be the IP address of the computer that the Terraria server is running on. If you don't know the IP address, jump on that computer, pull up a command prompt, and enter "ipconfig". The IP address is listed there.

Let us know if that worked because there might be further steps to keep it working.

Do you have more than one computer on your network? Can you check that the server is working from inside the network?

The other possibility is a firewall issue on your computer ... Does it change if you turn off your firewall? (type firewall into the windows search and look for Windows Defender Firewall ... Turn Firewall on or off should be on the left side.

** Edit ** Post another screen cap with your Terraria service fully filled out. Ports 7777, External 0.0.0.0, Internal 192.168.1.x (or whatever your server IP address is). Just to double check ... you are doing port forwarding, not port triggering.

I am hosting the server on my computer so it is inside the network. i do have another computer connected to my network. My friends can't connect even after i disabled the firewall. It still says the port is closed on port checker.

I posted this edit just as you posted ...

That looks right ... The user manual I found does not talk about port forwarding, so I was not sure what it looked like.

So, everything looks right. You can log on to your server, so we know it's working. Turning off the windows firewall did nothing. The computer the server is running on has the IP address 192.168.1.10.

Things to try ...
Turn off UPnP ... it should be off anyway ... too big of a security risk.
Remove the 0.0.0.0 from external host and leave it blank instead.
Restart the router.

I spent about 30 minutes reading posts from other people with this router and it does seem to be a bit fussy.

Of the 3 that claimed success, one said it worked after turning off UPnP (you already did), one said it worked after doing a factory reset of the router, and the last called Spectrum and they set it up for him remotely.
