[SOLVED] Cant forward ports on Asus AC66U

[bazpaul]

Hi there,

I'm trying to forward ports on my Asus AC66U but they wont stick. After I add the ports the router updates but the entries don't appear.

After some google a lot of people point to a maxed out NVRAM - however it appears to be fine. My routers NVRAM is showing as 48663 / 65536 bytes

I switched off the firewall on the router but it;s still happening.

Does anyone have any other ideas? Also how bad is it to switch of the routers firewall? is that bad?

Just to note I use a Huwaei HG612 as a Fibre Modem and then then Asus AC66U as the router

You HG612, from what I read in the manual is actually a router rather than just a modem.
To get a public IP address on your Asus and therefore be able to port forward, you would need to configure your HG612 in bridge mode -- http://servernorth.net/support/howto/hg612/
