Hi everyone,

I am trying to set up Port Forwarding (Virtual Servers) on my Archer C64, but I am stuck in a loop with a conflict error that won't go away.

The Issue: When I try to add a new Port Forwarding rule for my torrent client (qBittorrent), I get the error:

"Conflicting with existing port: X. To avoid conflict, please enter another value."

The Problem:

  • My Port Forwarding table is completely empty.

  • My UPnP list is empty (and I have now disabled UPnP).

  • My Port Triggering list is empty.

  • The router still thinks port X is "in use" somewhere, likely a ghost rule from a previous UPnP session.

Troubleshooting Steps I've Taken:

  1. Disabled "Use UPnP/NAT-PMP" in qBittorrent.

  2. Disabled UPnP on the router.

  3. Checked "Port Triggering" to ensure no conflicts there (it is empty).

  4. Tried changing the port in qBittorrent to a new number (e.g., 45000) and adding that to the router, but I still face issues adding the rule.

  5. Rebooted the router (standard reboot, not factory reset).

  6. Verified that DMZ is disabled.

 

What is the solution?
