Port forwarding not working with a DVR
Region : Greece
Model : TD-W8970
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hi all,
I’ve just replaced my old Thomson modem/router with TD-W8970 and I’m experiencing two problems.
1)I have a surveillance DVR attached to my modem/router and I'm trying to open a port (e.g. 801) in order to access it remotely. But no matter what I do the port remains closed.
2)The DHCP Clients List table shows NO connected clients, even though I have 3 clients (PC, Phone and the DVR) connected and working.
With my previous modem I had no issues. Sadly I find the port forwarding menu not that “straight forward” as it was expected and I feel like the user’s manual could have been a bit more explicit.
I would appreciate any help.
