Port forwarding with ranges.
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
I just bought this router because my old one only had 20 slots to port forward with.
It would not let me do ranges. I read that you can do ranges like this,
ex: 27000:27050, 27056, 27057
It says "This range should be between 1 and 65535.
I tries 1:65535 , with the same result.
Then I tried 27056,27057, It said " invalid format"
Port range forwarding was the whole reason for getting a new router!
Also my router says it is and archer a8 no option to pick in drop down menu.

@CougarXR7 I cannot believe this router AC1900 Wi-Fi Router will not allow port ranges.
I fixed my issue with port forwarding by getting an ip and out from behind the router.
Thanks for helping!

I believe TP-Link routers only support hyphen (the minus sign - ) for defining port ranges.

Thanks for the help.
I tried ex. 27000-27030 in the external port and it took!
I tried that in the internal port and it gave me an "invalid format" in the Internal port box.
But then I tried just one port 27000 and it worked no errors.
Now I need to check and see if those ports are opened, will keep posting with results.
Thanks for helping!

Just to confirm, have you updated the A8 firmware to the latest? As far as I know, it should allow you to set a port range for the external, just leave the internet blank:

I updated the router and I could put the port range in external port but only one port in the in the internal.
But I should of left the internal port blank.
Now I know, but I got an ip and got out from behind the router, now no more port problems!
Thanks for replying.
