[SOLVED] Port forwarding issues on Asus RT-AC58U.

[Wenor]

Hi. I'm trying to port forward for my minecraft server but it doesn't work. The problem is, my ports are still closed:

Here is my port forwarding section:

The problem might be from the router's firewall or ISP (not sure). Please help me find what I'm doing wrong.

Does the IP shown in the first picture match the WAN IP shown in the router interface?

You mean if the IP in the first picture matches the one in the second picture (192.168.50.152 )? I can't seem to find the WAN IP (i'm a newbie)

I am pretty sure the IP is on the main page under internet status. Not 100% sure I have not seen a factory asus image in a while. It should start out on the network map tab

Yes I see it now. The WAN IP doesn't match the IP i used in the port forwarding section.

The important question is does the IP shown in the WAN section match the IP shown in the port checker app you posted in the first picture? If not, you probably won't be able to forward.

It doesn't.

You are pretty much at the can't be done point. You would have to have port forward in the ISP router which they will never do.

You can ask your ISP If they will give/sell you a plan with a public IP address.

After that you would have to change ISP if that is possible or pay for a vpn service that will give you a fixed IP. It tends to be cheaper to just rent a hosted minecraft server in a datacenter.
