Model: Archer C80  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.13.15 Build 240812 Rel.53972n(4555)

I have a TP-Link Archer C80 router. It seems to have a maximum number of Port Forward rules (12 I think), which I'm already on. I need to add more rules for forwarding to one partcular computer. Is there a way of Port Forwarding any port not in the existing rules to a particular computer?

Hi,

 

Go to the menu "Advanced" -> "NAT Forwarding" -> "DMZ", enable DMZ and enter the IP address of that computer in the entry field.

 

Assuming TP-Link's implementation of DMZ is consistent through all their router models, this should forward everything that is not covered by a Port Forwarding rule to the IP address of the DMZ Host.
