Please refer to the instructions in the link below to check the port forwarding settings on your router.

https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/205/

Please pay attention to the PVC you selecte for the port forwarding rule, we need to select the one which is currently transferring data.

If you are still not able to connect to online players, please provide the following info:

1. Provide the screen shots of the Status-Device info and Advanced Setup-NAT page.

2. How many computers do you have in the house which are going to play online games?

3. Please tell more details about 'couldn't connect to online players', is there any error message? If so, please provide screen shot of the error.

Hi,

You opened port 16000 via virtual server, while according to your description, the kane wrath with port range 8088-65505, so it is suggested to use DMZ.

Meanwhile, the current IP address seems a private IP address, which is 10.x.x.x, that is why you failed to open ports; To make it work, you need open port on the front-end device or ISP's end which has the public IP address for the TP-Link router.

May it help and have a nice day.
