Hello all,

I installed the latest Asus/Merlin firmware and I'm not able to figure it out why I can't access RDP. I forwarded the port to the IP etc. I just got my RT-N66U and I followed this guide http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Your-Own-Router-With-Verizon-FiOS on how to add the router to my local (Verizon FIOS) modem/router. I'm probalby doing something wrong but I can't figure it out.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
I just recently experienced that symptom with port forwarding on my Merlin equipped router.
What it turned out to be was a blocking definition on the actual device being forwarded to. In my case it was an internal server that a certain port was to be forwarded to. There was a config file on that server preventing any response. Once correctly configured the router passed to it quite fine.

Hope this helps.

Bob, thanks for your replay, but I don't have any other device that might be causing the problem. I got it working by flashing the official Asus, setup and test RDP and then update to Merlin's. Very weird but at least is working.

thanks again!
