Model: Archer AX55  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.5 Build 20241211 rel.34816(4555)

Hi, 

 

I have the exact same issue, that is described here: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/584924

Can anyone explain, why it has been locked without any resolution?

 

After the power outage, my AX55 is starting up, the internet is working, but the configured port forwarding doesn't work, until I trigger the restart the router from the tether app (or web panel).

 

The AX55 is my main router, I have also AX10 (1.3.11 Build 20250325 Rel. 24737) as my EasyMesh satellite router (with ethernet backhaul), if it matters.

Hi,

 

By "power outage" you mean everything in your home shuts off, right?

 

If so, then could you please test what happens if you only power off the Archer AX55, but not the ISP modem? Does the port forwarding work or not after power to the AX55 has been restored?

In this scenario (if I only power cycle the AX55 router), the port forwarding is functioning correctly. So it only happens, if I turn off both AX55 and the ISP modem at the same time.

Ok. In this case I suggest the next time you have a power outage and port forwarding stops working you log into the Archer AX55 and note down its "Internet IP Address" (marked in the picture below). Then check whether that Internet IP address is a public IP address (which, as you probably know, is required for accessing your home network from elsewhere) or if it happens to be a private IP address.
