Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 20220530 Rel. 38666

I'm trying to enable remote desktop on the Windows 10 and 11 PC's on my network. Remote desktop uses port 3389. I can forward this port on on the IP of one of my PC's but the router will only allow a port to be forwarded on one device. I need to open this port on both PC's don't I? I've encountered this issue before on this router and it doesn't make sense to me. What am I missing?

@Gomtuu

I googled around and most people said it couldn't be done because router didn't know which of the two internal IP addresses it should be forwarded to. But I see one user mentioned that you could open port 3389 one on PDP protocol and the other on UDP protocol. Maybe you could have a try.
