Title: Adding port forwarding to DIR-645
Post by: trogladyte on September 13, 2016, 07:24:17 PM

I am trying to get a Verizon Network Extender working but I believe that it's begin stopped by closed ports. I think I'm correct in saying that I need to use port forwarding to overcome this.  I need:

123 UDP, 4500 UDP, 500 UDP, 53 TCP/UDP, and 52428 TCP/UDP

I went into Status in the admin of the router and found the Networke Extender's MAC address assigned to an IP address on my home network. Using this, I went to port forwarding and entered the port number under Public Port, chose the relevant TCP/UDP/Both, and found the computer in the dropdown. Then I saved, and everything disappeared. I was expecting to see them all listed (also did this if I checked the checkbox then saved), so assume these settings weren't saved and the ports are still closed.

Can soemone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? Thank you.

• 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?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?

I recommend using the routers DMZ (http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Networking-101-The-DMZ-137550) and reserving an IP address for the Verizon extender and input this IP address into the 645s DMZ. Helps with VoIP devices and works well. Less hassle to configure the router this way. I use this for my ATT microcell.

PC Web Browser Configurations
What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF? If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again. (For older generation routers.)
Disable any security browser Add-ons like No Script and Ad-Block or configure them to allow All Pages when connected to the router.
Clear all browser caches.
