Hi @fawadakhtar
Welcome to the Community!
If you haven't visited it yet, we suggest that you check this thread: Port Forwarding on the TP Link VR1600V
Is the device connected to the modem a computer? If it is, you might want to check as well the computer's firewall port.
Regards,
Will
Hi
I'm having trouble with this as well. I'd like to access the web admin tool on one of my lan machines when not at home.
I realise that I do not have a static IP address, but that is fine with me.
I created Virtual Server (please see attached). Why can't I access it via http://MYIP:62 ?
Thanks
Matt
Hi @MattFitzmaurice,
Welcome to TPG Community!
We noticed that the external port and internal port that you've inserted is different. What is the exact Port that your Virtual Server requires?
Both External port and Internal port should be the same.

It's just a web server. So I made both ports 80 and it times out.
Hi @MattFitzmaurice,
The Port Forwarding Feature of VR1600v should be working. Can you post or send us the screenshot of the configured settings.
Cheers!
Got it. It had to be port 8080 instead of just 80.
Thanks
Yay! We're glad to know that @MattFitzmaurice. Let us know should you require further assistance.
Cheers!

Hi BasiDV,
Please do not post false information as a Moderator. Port forwarding is designed to have different external and internal port numbers, hence it's name, it forwards one port to a different port number.

I too cannot get port forwarding to work in Richmond VIC.
I have two different sites, two identical TPG provided Archer Modems, which have identical Firmware installed, configured same within Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Virtual Servers, however, when I test the port to confirm it is open in Richmond it fails, whereas the one in Doncaster VIC works as it should.
I have added, rebooted, tried everything but it never works in Richmond.

For such a simple setting I have wasted far too much time.
How do I get this resolved.
Thanks, Regards, Steve
