xlr8r Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 was tinkering with the Port Forwarding page (for COD WWII) and noticed that I was unable to "untick" anything other than the first tick-box.... ? attempting to un-tick any box , other than the top one, does not work...? only way to disable an entry is to delete it...? simjc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 8, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2018 I was able to reproduce this so I will let the Netgear development team know as Settings is their domain. Port Triggering & Port Forwarding are not the exact same. If you want to do port forwarding properly go to Settings > Port Forwarding. Though there should be no need to port forward for CoD, UPnP should open the ports necessary automatically. Buster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just passing on the info to you guys .... cheers. Netduma Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simjc Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Yep - reported this one 2 months back... So hopefully Netgear will fix in the next firmware update... It is a pretty simple reproduceable issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPnP is not doing its job...? any ideas why ? cheers Do you have port forwarding rules set as well as enabling UPNP? These two can clash. It’s usuallly sufficient to just have one or the other. Could you try this please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 10, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 10, 2018 You can put the console in the DMZ in Settings > WAN Setup and you should have no issue getting an open NAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPnP isnt doing its job on its own or not working at all. my upnp screen has no ports open , weird considering many of my lan devices are upnp enabled...?

I confirmed yesterday with a user that PPPoE prevented the UPnP table from populating, though they still had an open NAT so looks to be just an aesthetic issue.

Hi Fraser yes im with BT (Infinity 2) and router is configured with PPPoE I use an HG612 Unlocked modem as well. would there be any benefit to reconfiguring the modem to take over from the router with PPPoE. At present my modem is just a modem, bridged. it can be configured to do that, but i dont want to mess up what connections i have and i would prob lose my ability to obtain dslstats from lan2 of the modem (which is why its the unlocked setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 10, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 10, 2018 Thanks for confirming. Just so you know I informed Netgear of this yesterday so they can look into it. If you're happy with how everything is at the moment I would leave it, if you start getting any weird issues then yes it may be worth doing that to see how it is. simjc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
