Model: Archer BE900  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.7 Build 20250529 rel.12784(4155)

I recently upgraded my router from a TP-Link VX220 to a TP-Link BE900. I run a home webserver that was working fine with the VX220, but since switching to the BE900, port forwarding for port 80 no longer functions.

 

The configuration is correctly set in the router settings, and the server remains accessible within the local LAN. However, external access via port 80 is not working.

 

I tried diasbaling and changing the remote management port to something other than the default, but that only affects HTTPS and does not resolve the issue. From what I can tell, the BE900 seems to keep port 80 bound for its own internal management, which prevents it from being forwarded.

First make sure that you get your public IP address on the  BE900 Internet port (for example):

 

 

If you have UPnP feature enabled in BE900, disable it, reboot the router and test again:

Hi,

 

Just a bit of additional information.

 

In general, the logic on current models of TP-Link's Archer routers with up-to-date firmware is that when Remote Management is enabled, then port 80 is used by Remote Management and when Remote Management is disabled, then port 80 is available to be forwarded to a local IP address.

It works like this on my Archer BE550.

 

Previously TP-Link's routers allowed the user to modify the HTTP port for the Remote Management, but this option has been removed by TP-Link.
