Tags: #Port Forwarding
Model: Archer VR2100v  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.18.0 0.9.1 v009e.0 Build 241018 Rel.43535n

Hi

 

I'm facing issues when adding new rules to port-forwarding/virtual server. The drop-down field "Interface Name" only gives me the option "No interface":

 

no interface

 

I can fill the other fields but the "Save" button stays always blocked - I assume because of the "No interface".

 

Any hints on how to fix this?

I've already tried restart, different browser, and firmware upgrade (currently on the latest version).

  @terziyski, I did have interfaces there and I had a fully working internet connection.

 

Anyway, I found another issue later: I couldn't connect to my employer's VPN. The fault was the DS-Lite connection from Vodafone. I then requested Dual-Stack (ipv4 and ipv6) from Vodafone and that fixed the connection issue with the VPN; I can also forward ports now - the problem is resolved.

 

I assume that means port forwarding doesn't work when the router is configured for a DS-Lite connection, as described in this article: https://www.tp-link.com/de/support/faq/2750/.

Would be nice if that article could be updated with a warning stating that port-forwarding will no longer work. Having it in the manual too wouldn't hurt.

If you don't have any Internet connection configured here:

 

 

you'll have onlly "No interface" option in this drop-down menu.

If this was helpful click on the arrow pointing upward to make it blue. If this solves your issue, click the star to make it blue and mark the post as a "Recommended Solution".
