Can't port forward for my ftp server

2020-05-09 05:22:55 - last edited 2021-07-27 08:04:08

Model: Archer C7

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version:

I have a ZTE mf283+ router and another tp-link archer c7 router connected to it that I use as an access point. TP-Link's IP address is 192.168.0.23 and I have an FTP server set up on it. I tried port forwarding so I can access the FTP server from outside:

But when I try to access it from outside like this: ftp://37.xxx.xxx.xxx:21 It says "This site can't be reached 37.xxx.xxx.xxx refused to connect. Am I doing something wrong or is it something with my ISP?

@Evie

There is no default routing on C7 because the WAN port is not used. Our router doesn't know how to reply this address because of lacking routing. I think you need use the WAN port so that we have the default routing to reply the outside address.
