opening ports for plex media server = TD8816 modem & TL-WR841N router
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TD-8816
Hardware Version : V6
Firmware Version : 6.0.0 build 100906 ref 43560
ISP : TalkTalk
greetings everybody, i hope i'm posting in the right section.
i've been attempting to make my Plex Media Server (win7) available outside the home network for use on laptop, tablet & windows phone. unfortunately, i seem to be hitting a brick wall with opening ports through my current setup.
I'm running a TP Link TD8816 modem with the ADSL connection into a TP-Link TL-WR841N router (v8 / 3.13.33 build 130506 ref 48660n) via ethernet. i bough a cable router in error & then hooked up the modem to handle the available ADSL connection.
im attempting to setup the modem to act as a bridge, so the router can accept open port instructions with static ip addresses to make available my plex servers available outside the home.
if this has been covered before, i apologise for posting - i did search but found nothing of use. im an idiot with networking and would appreciate help in getting my modem/router setup working efficiently. ive got internet access obviously but forwarding ports seem beyond my system for some reason.
many thanks in anticipation.
