    My Asus router won't let me port forward. Get error: WAN IP is not external IP.

    I just unboxed my EdgeRouterX this past weekend, and I'm testing the waters... right off the bat I realized I needed to do some reading on the EdgeOS and how to configure/use this thing, cuz there's many options and it's nothing like any other standard "consumer router" web UIs, there more...

    My Asus router won't let me port forward. Get error: WAN IP is not external IP.

    @umarmung So I decided to pull the trigger on an EdgeRouter X... to get the VLAN capabilities and better routing. For now, what I think I'm gonna do is set the Asus RT-N56U as just a wifi access point, and offload all the DHCP/NAT/routing to the EdgeRouter. In the future once my Asus router...

    Ok this is wierd. So port scan reveals that port 80 is closed/unreachable BUT the VPN port 1723 is open. WTF!??! I've had this router since April 2014, so 4 years old now. Never really had this kind of wierdness happen though... could be some memory corruption, or the router "dying" I suppose...

    My Asus router won't let me port forward. Get error: WAN IP is not external IP.

    Hi, thanks... so: Router reports in main "Network Map" dashboard page the WAN IP as: 155.186.xxx.xxx - this matches what I get from icanhazip.com Yes, I was using VPN a while ago, so it's active, but I haven't tested or used it in quite some time. Under VPN Server: I have the Enable PPTP...

    My Asus router won't let me port forward. Get error: WAN IP is not external IP.

    Hi guys, I've come to my wits end trying to understand what in the world is going on with my router. I'm hoping maybe someone here can help. I've searched online but cannot seem find a definitive answer, or even what to look for in my case. Anyways, I have Charter/Spectrum internet in Metro...
