Hello everyone. I did my best to search for related issues regarding this specific modem and the issue I am having and decided to create a thread specific to my issue.
I've plugged a laptop into the modem directly and have the modem set to forward 9987 for my teamspeak3 server. After this I plan on opening a few more ports for some games servers as well.
Sadly, at this time, though all set up seems to be as it should be based on multiple suggestions, the port is still showing as closed.
Our house uses centurylink and we have had great service with them up until I tried to forward the ports I am trying to forward.
Here is my present setup in full:
Centurylink > C1000A Modem/router [Wireless disabled] > Server laptop.
Alternatively, I have a x6 nighthawk r8000 hooked into the C1000A, but after exhausting all options to get through that with my server, I decided ti bypass and plug the server computer directly into the C1000A, sadly the problem persists. While trying to ping my public ip, all sends and receives as it should with multiple accounts of a 100% success and no failures yet [unless I messed something up to which I fixed later on].
I am using ping.eu to ping my ip and port. However the only problem remains that I can see is that the port ping returns "Closed". Even when Teamspeak's server is either on or off, listening to or not listening to those ports.
The nighthawk is only used for all non-server machines such as our house's laptops, desktops, and tablet devices/gaming consoles which all have proven to work nominally.
Oh, and yes. All firmware is up to date for all/both routers/modems.
The IP I am attempting to forward is similar to the modem in that it uses the home reference: 192.168.0.(x) and I have tried forwarding 9987 through both udp and tcp separately, as well as both combined.
Teamspeak3 server and clients are up to date. All other machines used for any testing are running through the router 192.168.1.(x)
EDIT: Additional information.
