Model: Archer A8  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.10.0 Build 210716 Rel.51301n(4555)

Hello

When I try to forward  port 44158 I get the below message:

 

Conflicting with existing port: 44158

 

I upgraded firmware and tried again, same issue, downgraded back to factory default, still same issue.  Windows firewall also not blocking anything.

 

I changed my router to a basic Xiaomi and I could do the port forward without any problem on same network and PC.

 

I have a public IP address confirmed and tested by the ISP. Static.

 

How to fix it?

@Jereshi 

 

Can I confirm which service are you trying to open port 44158 for? Is it possible to try with a different port, then check if you can open it?

 

Be sure that this port 44158 is not used by any other device or service in the network.

 

Is the network layout like ISP modem---Archer A8---client device/server?

It is for helium hotspot

 

Be sure that this port 44158 is not used by any other device or service in the network.

Not open on any other devices. port forwarding is empty and I only add this port for the device (I created static IP for the device also in router). 

When I change the router to another one It was done without conflict. But I need it on my Archer because it has more exit Ethernet ports

No modem from ISP, I called ISP to confirm that and they gave me also one static public ip address

@Jereshi 

 

Are you able to change the port number on the helium hotspot to something else? If yes, then try to open the corresponding port on the A8 again, then check if you can do that.

 

BTW, to locate this issue and try to fix it, we would like to follow up on your case via email. Please check your inbox and provide the information that we need.

  @Jereshi. I have the same problem.  I have no other ports forwarded and it just pops up that conflict message.  It's not possible to change the helium port.  

 

@tplink and luck on this.  I saw another page where you provided custom firmware for another user for a different port but same message

 

thanks!
