So, I’ve got this Teletel 7200 router from Comcast, and I was trying to get some ports open for

TCP: 80, 443, 14000, 14008, 14020, 14021, 14022, 14023 and 14024

UDP: 3074 and 6015

But then I go to run a test using that Forward Networks tool, and when I plug in something like port 80, it just tells me it's closed, which is incredibly frustrating because I feel like I did everything right! Is there some other step I'm missing before these ports actually show up as open?

PS. Turns out I totally missed the issue with uPnP (my buddy phiber helped me figure it out), so please delete this thread since for some reason I can't do it myself.

It would be awesome if you could share what the actual fix was, just so future users running into this same headache have a roadmap to follow 😉

My bad, I totally posted this in the wrong subforum and honestly, I even messed up a tiny detail, but whatever—if anyone is struggling to open a port on a Technicolor 7200, here is how you actually do it:
First, you gotta pull up cmd and type in ipconfig/all so you can find your IPv4 Address (mine shows up as 192.168.0.14 at the top of the list), then we dive into the router settings, head over to advanced, hit option, and enable uPnP, followed by a quick router reboot. Once that's done, go to forwarding, click create IPv4, and then you just fill out the second part of the form (specifically Local IP Address, Local Start Port, Local End Port). After entering those details, pick your protocol (either TCP, UDP or both) and make sure you switch it from enabled [off] to enabled [on]
.
