Archer C9 - Port Forwarding NOT WORKING...

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP :

Dear friends,

I have setup the Port forwarding and Virtual Servers for a particular UDP Port to be opened in both directions - incoming as well as outgoing. But the C9 does not allow. Normal Internet connection is working fine on Wireless as well as Wired LAN.

C9 Firmware details: 4.0.0 Build 20150811 Rel. 57338
C9 Hardware version: ArcherC9 v1.0

C9: IP: 192.168.1.200
LAN Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
IP Address Pool: 192.168.1.201 TO 192.168.1.254
Addr Reservation for PC: 192.168.1.202

In the NAT forwarding section I have enabled all options.

For Virtual Servers I have configured as follows:
Ext Port IP Int Port Protocol
5199 192.168.1.202 5199 ALL
5198 192.168.1.202 5198 ALL
Both are active

Also configured Port Triggering in a similar way

uPnP is enabled.

DMZ is turned off

SPI Firewall OFF

DOS Protection ON

IPV6 OFF

Enable NAT - Turned ON
Enable NAT Boost - Turned OFF


I just dont know what else needs to be done. I am trying to enable the EchoLink software to work on my PC. It requires UDP Ports 5198 and 5199 to be opened. Checked the Windows Firewall rules. They are fine. When I connect the same PC to another router where the port forwarding has been configured, EchoLink software works. So no issues with PC or Firewall settings.

What else needs to be done on Archer C9 to enable Port forwarding? PLEASE HELP...

Thank you
Ravi

Yes, the PC is assigned a fixed IP of 192.168.1.202 every time I boot it and connect to the C9 Router. Not sure what else needs to be done.

Should I try and upgrade the firmware to the latest one? I also came to know that some times loopback address gets in between on the NAT translation table... not clear on this one though.

Any other tips to rectify the main issue of port forwarding on C9? Please help,.

The main problem is a software by name EchoLink used for Amateur Radio needs to communicate on UDP Ports 5198 and 5199.

Do you have public IP address on the WAN port of your router ?

Yes, I do.

I will now contact my ISP and check if he has to do anything with opening of Ports for specific login IDs... Seems to be an issue on the ISP side and not Archer C9.
