Cannot get port forwarding to work on Deco M5
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Am new user of Deco M5 and first post. I have U-Verse 50mb service with Arris NVG599 router. Received my Deco M5 2 days ago and it solved my slow wireless problems.
I Plugged it into my Arris (no changes to the Arris) and the setup was easy. Much faster. I have the first Deco M5 in the basement connected by Ethernet to the Arris router. The second and third are on the desk of two desktops wired to the desktops w/ethernet cable. Increased my speed 2 1/2 times!
I am running Linux Mint on my desktops with Apache server software also for two lightly used genealogy web sites used by a few family members accessed by IP address (no domain name). It is accessed by the WAN IP of 99.xx.xxx.xx:8082 and 8083. This has worked well.
At first I thought my web sites still worked with the Deco M5 but after renaming the Deco M5 wireless it was not working. Not sure it ever did?
Anyhow I have attempted to set up port forwarding on my Deco M5.
Used the same Service name for the two ports as with the Arris. Selected my desktop and the app displayed the internal IP address for my desktop. I added the external port numbers, two separate entries each with a separate service name.
This is not working with my WAN IP.
I can access the web site from a device on the LAN using the LAN IP. This worked before & after attempting port forwarding.
1. I cannot display what I set up in port forwarding to verify it is what I intended. Is there a way to display Port forwarding settings? Or to delete so I can retry?
2. Do I need to set up bridge mode in the Arris 599? I have a writeup but don't quite understand if I need this setup.
3. Do I need AP mode? Not sure what this is. Don't think so. Also port forwarding may not work with AP.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for your patience

Re:Cannot get port forwarding to work on Deco M5
The Arris screenshot and the IPV4 screenshot look ok to me. But the Port Forwarding screenshot only shows me a description of what port forwarding is and not what my settings are. The plus in the lower right gives me the screen to enter port forwarding settings but doesn't display any that may be there.
The Telnet command I am not familiar with. I believe it only works for windows computers and mine is Linux. I do have a Windows 7 laptop. Can I do the Telnet from it to the Linux desktop/server?

That's the issue. Port Forwarding rules are not set up successfully on the Deco router, thus you cannot remote access your desktop server.
When you tap the plus icon to add a rule, please pay attention that you have type in all the necessary parameters (tap Select from Device and choose your Desktop server in the device list), after that, remember to click Done.
