Archer C64 - "Conflict with existing port" error despite empty Forwarding/UPnP list
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:
-
Disabled "Use UPnP/NAT-PMP" in qBittorrent.
-
Disabled UPnP on the router.
-
Checked "Port Triggering" to ensure no conflicts there (it is empty).
-
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.
-
Rebooted the router (standard reboot, not factory reset).
-
Verified that DMZ is disabled.
What is the solution?
