I having issues port forwarding on my 850L. I have the latest software and firmware. A lot of the software faq's seem to be for the old software (black and orange site)? Anyway I'm a line of sight service through a POE UBI-POE-25-5.
Any help or things to look for specifically in the settings?

- What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under the router case.
- Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
- What region are you located?
- Are you wired or wireless connected to the router?
Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
- What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
- What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
- Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
- What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
- Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link> Cat6 is recommended. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6)
- Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=53008.0)
- For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
- If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>Double NAT (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm) and How NAT Works (http://cognitiveanomalies.com/cisco-nat-how-nat-works/). To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. Also check the routers DHCP IP address maybe conflicting with the ISP modems IP address of 192.168.0.1. Check to see if this is the same on the ISP modem, and if modem can't be bridged, change the DIR router to 192.168.1.1 or .0.254.

Please give feed back to the additional questions presented.
Please give examples on your port forwarding configuration rules...
Review the User manual for Port Forwarding information.
Disable uPnP to test if you set up any Port Forwarding rules...

Trying to port a webserver for 3d printer through an android app. The port TCP UDP is 2323 for the app in the port forwarding rule.
The android device has its IP reserved and I have create a static route rule that doesn't appear to stay routed to Android tablets IP.

Is there any firewall rules as well under firewall/advanced?
Disable uPnP while configuring PF as well...
You might try Virtual Server as well and see if that helps...
-
There is no Status/Device Info/Wan section in my version of the software. If you are looking for clients I don't see one with a # for the POE.
Have disabled PNP
Firewall options that are on are.
Filtering is on but deny rules is default. Don't have any rules though
PPTP
IPSec (VPN)
SIP

Select the Internet icon on the home page, the WAN IP address will be listed here...is it a ##.##.###.### or 192.168.someting?
-
Under internet it does not show a # under the IP address.
-
The router requires a WAN IP address for port forwarding to work correctly.
Is the router running has the main host router or in wired AP mode? LAN to LAN connected?
-
Its running as the stand alone router. No LAN connections. I have my WAN address I guess I don't understand how that works as its dynamic?
-
Well, depend on your ISP. Some ISPs use static, most ISPs use Dynamic DHCP. However some ISPs have modems with built in routers which changes what the WAN IP address gets on the 850L router. If it's a private IP address from the ISP modem, 192.168.0.Something, then Port forwarding will not work correctly. If the ISP Modem is a stand alone modem and the ISP gives a public IP address, like 23.54.129.254 for example, to the 850L router, then port forwarding and other router features should work IF they are configured correctly ON the router.
-
So how do I figure out which one it is? I'm not at home but my wan IP had a 192 168 200 xxx I believe when I checked it on an online site last night.
-
192 168 200 xxx is a private IP address. This is on the 850Ls Wan side the any PF configurations will not work.
