Digisol DG-HR3400 Port forwarding not working ?

You tried bending your knees up, but still facing problem with Port forwarding on Digisol DG-HR3400? Well, there’s a reason, Wise men said “The opposite of Networking is Not Working”. So, it does take some trial and error to get it working.

Here let’s go through the common port forwarding issues and problems on Digisol DG-HR3400 Router and how to fix them.


1.You may be behind more than one router

More often than not, your computer connects to your home router(Digisol DG-HR3400) which then connects to your internet service provider's router before connecting to the internet(port forwarding through 2 routers). To find out, log in to your Digisol DG-HR3400 Router and check the IP address on the status page. If it is not the same as your external IP address (a quick Google search of ‘what is my IP’ should help) then your Digisol DG-HR3400 is not the internet facing router. If that’s the case, you may need to login to the first router and enable DMZ for the second router’s (Digisol DG-HR3400) IP Address.

2.Did you enable static IP on your devices that’s requesting port forward on your Digisol DG-HR3400 router

Yes, we're repeating a step here we know, but it's imperative you're sure. If your IP changes every time you reboot your PC/console, it means the network setting is still set to dynamic. Follow step 1 in this guide, reboot your device and confirm the IP hasn't changed. Now you're good to go. (In few cases, though the static IP is enabled correctly, a reboot may be required for proper IP recycling. Well, Reboot does work) Ofcourse, Port forwarding does work without static ip, But once you turn off your device you may lose the IP and will not receive any incoming traffic from Digisol DG-HR3400 Router
