Need Assistance with Port Forwarding

Region : UnitedStates

Model : TL-ER6120

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version : 1.0.5 Build 20130314 Rel.56468

ISP : Cox Communication


This may be a pretty basic question, but I've become lost in the TP-Link Router. I'm trying to configure port forwarding for devices from WAN to LAN. An example would be RDP port (3389) to Desktop IP (192.168.0.1) from WAN to LAN. I've configured the Firewall Access Control Access Rules portion to include RDP as a service. Source Any, Destination 192.168.0.1/32, Allow, Interface WAN, Always.

However, I attempt to access from outside of the network, and I am being blocked.

I've verified WAN IP addresses are correct, I can connect to the internet just fine, I can ping 192.168.0.1 from the router. But I cannot seem to allow access from the outside to the specific ports.

I know I am missing something so simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you may go to the wrong place. port forwarding you should go to Virtual Server, not Access control.

Limiting port forwarding

Can the port being forwarded be limited to a specific IP address or range of IP addresses?

Thanks in advance.
