BE805 Port Forwarding is missing
Hi everyone! I am currently usnig BE805. I am trying to host a server for games and found out that there is no further options for port forwarding setting for BE805 router.
I have NAT enabled but I don't see any NAT or port forwarding related setting in the navigation menu. Is it because I am using v6plus connetion?

I've tried to find some information about that v6plus connection you mentioned earlier. Apparenty this "v6plus" is only common in Japan and it is an IPv6 connection that provides IPv4 over IPv6.
If that is the case, then things like port forwarding, port triggering and DMZ, which are all IPv4 features, might not be possible with this connection type and therefore TP-Link disabled these features.
Does your Archer BE805 support other Internet connection types? What I mean is, can you select options like "PPPoE" or "Dynamic IP" instead of v6plus?
If you choose, for example, "Dynamic IP" and the "NAT Forwarding" menu appears, but if you switch back to "v6plus" and the "NAT Forwarding" menu disappears, then this must mean these features are not possible with a v6plus connection.

Hi@ySpiK,
Thank you for contacting our community.
You should have completely disabled IPv4. These features are mainly for IPv4.
Of course, this feature does not work properly for IPv6 for the time being.
If you have other questions, feel free to contact us.

Hi,
In Wireless Router mode there should be a separate item named "NAT Forwarding" in the main tree of the "Advanced" menu.

@woozle I discovered that port forwarding, port triggering, DMZ are all being disabled (I saw all 3 disabled in a security scan). Where can I turn it back on?
