Model: Archer C80  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.13.15 Build 240812 Rel.53972n(4555)

I have a TP-Link Archer C80 router. It seems to have a maximum number of Port Forward rules (12 I think), which I'm already on. I need to add more rules for forwarding to one partcular computer. Is there a way of Port Forwarding any port not in the existing rules to a particular computer?

Hello@JohnRose ,

Welcome to our community.

 

The maximum number of Port Forward rules is 16.

You can consider VPN functionality, or refer to the suggestions provided by Woozle.

Hi,

 

Go to the menu "Advanced" -> "NAT Forwarding" -> "DMZ", enable DMZ and enter the IP address of that computer in the entry field.

 

Assuming TP-Link's implementation of DMZ is consistent through all their router models, this should forward everything that is not covered by a Port Forwarding rule to the IP address of the DMZ Host.
