I've been trying to set up port forwarding on the RT-AC66U without much success.
Basically nothing seems to work, I've tried stock firmware and now Merlins, neither seem to work and I'm beginning to wonder if I've just missed something unbelievably simple or the router is duff. I've never had issues with port forwarding on any other router I've ever owned, but this is the first time I've moved past the entry level ones.
I've turned off my firewall on the PC for all testing.
I've factory reset the router (running latest Merlin) and reconnected to the internet through a BT fibre modem. The only devices connected to the network are a phone and the PC.
I've enabled port forwarding under WAN->Virtual Server / Port Forwarding and added Counter Strike(TCP) (this time, I've tried many other ports previously). See image.
I can't get to the port from the outside world.
So I removed the port forward, enabled 'Enable Web Access from WAN', I can see that port fine (8080). So altered the port # to 27030 (same as CS one), can get to that port as well.
I DMZ my PC's IP, the only port I can get to is the 'Web Access' one on the router, no other ports are open.
Tried turning off the routers firewall, still can only access whichever port is set in web access, nothing seems to get past the router into the network.
Any pointers gratefully received!
