Tags: #Port Forwarding

Model: Archer VR400

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version: 1.5.0 0.9.1 v00a1.0 Build 220321 Rel.60385n

I have followed every step from here: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/272490 to the tee and still nothing.

I know I can connect to the server via localhost but I don't have a way to test if someone on the local network can connect.

I have tried changing the protocol from 'TCP' to 'ALL' and even tried 'UDP' but still nothing. My WAN IP is public. Please help I really don't know where to go from here

@Why_are_we_here

Hi, Welcome to the community.

I think it is very likely due to your current Internet IPV4 address on the VR400.

It is suggested to refer to this link to see whether the IPV4 address here is the same as what you got from https://whatismyipaddress.com/

If there are different IPs, your internet service provider might use CG-NAT over the service:

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

@David-TP

The IPs already do match, I already contacted my ISP as that initially wasn't the case. Still no connection, like I said prior I followed every instruction from https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/272490 and I still could not get it to work.
