Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.2.1 Build 20200110 rel.60119(4555)

 

I would like to know how to add custom firewall rules for filtering incoming packets when accessing a service I exposed using "NAT forwarding" and "Virtual Servers". This was possible in my Archer C2 wifi router but not in C6?

 

Example: When configuring a service to be used from the internet which is on my LAN, I put in a rule under "NAT forwarding" and then define an entry under "Virtual servers" but I only want that service port to be used by certain whitelisted IP addresses on the internet: how can I configure and achieve this with the Archer C6?

I have been struggling with the same thing.. haven't found a solution yet. Only thing i found was disabling the SPI firewall completely but not sure about the risks in doing that. Another option would be to flash a custom firmware but it has its own set of risks.

 

Would love to find a way to do it cleanly.
