    [ASUS RT-AC1200] - Help configuring port forwarding.

    Yes, i understand the problem now, thank you for explaining it clearly. I configured this other router at least 2 years ago, so no, i do not remember. As i understand it, i'd basically be disabling most of the functionality of the router, if i put it in access point mode, is that correct? If...

    [ASUS RT-AC1200] - Help configuring port forwarding.

    It's an ASUS router as well, model name: RT-N12. The previously-mentioned modem is the same as before, no changes there, except i've rebooted it whenever i reboot the router. p.s. Sorry i did not mention the modem earlier, didn't think that was a factor.

    [ASUS RT-AC1200] - Help configuring port forwarding.

    Above the message on the router screen that i gave below, it says: DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is a service that allows network clients to connect to the wireless router, even with a dynamic public IP address, through its registered domain name. The wireless router is embedded with the...

    [ASUS RT-AC1200] - Help configuring port forwarding.

    OK, now we're getting somewhere. I get DSL from my provider. It comes into my home to a DLink ADSL2+Modem - model number DSL-520B. I have a standard Ethernet cable running from it's LAN output to the WAN input on this router. Same physical configuration as with my last router, i ensured that...

    [ASUS RT-AC1200] - Help configuring port forwarding.

    Hmmmmm, just confirming.... Under the 'General' heading->Network Map i've got: Internet Status: Connected WAN IP: 192.168.x.x DDNS: GO "GO" is a hyperlink which takes me to the "WAN-DDNS" page. Here it says the following: "The wireless router currently uses a private WAN IP address. This...

    How would i confirm that? Would that be if the WAN IP followed the form 192.168.x.x? If so, the answer to that is "Yes".

    [ASUS RT-AC1200] - Help configuring port forwarding.

    Thak you for the various pieces of advice! I understood what you meant on most of my questions as i worked thru resetting everything. I've reset everything all the way back to ground zero and re-run all the network tests that Vuze offers. The results are completely the same as before. I did...

    Thank you, i understand your points. I'll consider the static IP if i need to. Going to exhaust all other possibilities before i go down that road. Thanks!

    I do have a dynamic IP address that is assigned to my computer when i establish a new network connection. I don't really want to go the route of a static IP, i don't think. This was all working fine before i got this new router.

    [ASUS RT-AC1200] - Help configuring port forwarding.

    Full factory reset? No, just installed it for the first time. Is that necessary? The IP 192.55.2.2 is NOT the IP address, as i've indicated in my notes. In fact, it is 192.168.x.x. I was merely obscuring the actual value for security purposes. So, "if" my default gateway value were...

    [ASUS RT-AC1200] - Help configuring port forwarding.

    Thought i'd add that there is no VPN involved here. Just a PC, a DSL connection, firewall and Vuze bit torrent software, that's it.

    [ASUS RT-AC1200] - Help configuring port forwarding.

    Hi! Just bought the RT-AC1200 to replace another ASUS that went belly up a few days earlier (blinking lights, smoke, you name it.... ok, no smoke... :). Everything's working except one thing. I do bit torrenting of ROIO's (Recordings of Independent Origin - nothing illegal going on here) and...
