Model: TL-MR3420  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.4.0 0.9.1 v0001.0

Hi,

 

I've been trying to open a few ports on this router to no avail.

 

- Tried putting the host in DMZ, doesn't work.

- Tried opening a Virtual Server and a Port Trigger via the respective menus, don't work.

 

I checked and I have the latest firmware.

 

Please help!

What is the current internet IP address? Please ensure that it is a public one, otherwise, the port forwarding won't work until you open the ports for the MR3420 on the front-end device which has the public IP address.

Hi Kevin,

 

Thanks for getting back to me, can I have your email address please? I'm not comfortable posting my IP address online.

 

edit: never mind, I'll just private message you.
