Ports will not forward, no matter what - Only show as 'stealth'
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-WDR4300
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 0.9.1 0.10 v0032.0 Build 140716 Rel.54909n
ISP : Virgin Media
First thing, the model is the Archer C2 (I don't know why this isn't an option).
IP does NOT block any ports. My older router (SuperHub 1) could forward these ports fine.
I recently got a new router (TP Link AC750 - it's actually pretty good compared to my old SuperHub) and one of the first things I did was port forward - I did it without a hitch (27015/27005 for Source games). However, I just tried hosting a server (with those ports) and unfortunately, nobody can connect - however, the info is being shown (minus players).
I've port forwarded in several different ways (i.e 27000-27050, ALL or 27015, ALL) and neither work - every port scanner shows "Closed" or "Stealth". With the game, I've tried a whole manner of ports, even putting my IP in the DMZ with no avail.
Windows firewall is disabled. I've also tried port triggering, but that seemed to make no difference. Static IPs have been set up, including MAC binding. Pinging myself through the router works.

(These ports show as "Closed" rather than "Stealth": https://i.imgur.com/AILGLLX.png ShieldsUp! was used to scan the ports)
How on Earth do I get these ports to stay open?
Even with the game running which will be using these ports, they remain closed.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance.
