ASUS RT-N56U - can't udpate firmware

[Geoff]

Can you send a screenshot of your port forwarding settings? I have port forwarding setup on my Asus router as well, and have no issues. You set the port number, the IP of the device you want it forwarded to (in this case my NAS), and then the port number again.

That more than likely wouldn't work with new firmware. I know it doesn't for DD-WRT. You should have written down the port settings instead.

It does work I use it regularly

Thanks everybody and the good news is that everything is now working with the firmware upgrade including the port forwarding.

I guess I needed to do a reboot or something.

Oh I still have not heard back from Asus Support. LOL

Back up your settings

Oh yes, I have to do that right now thanks for reminding me :good:

[SOLVED] I need to hijack this very old thread, but i've been doing the same thing as the previous guy, but i have also tried updating with the .trx like you should, it refuses to update no matter what i do, trust me i've done everything and so far all i can think of is my router is just broken from factory :/ I'm currently stuck on 3.0.0.4.374_979-gbc8961e since i bought my router and i haven't been able to update it since purchase.

Edit: Had to put router in rescue-mode and do a firmware-restoration with the latest firmware, finally.

I have the RT N66U Dark Knight flashed with ASUS Merlin. So far I've never encountered such an issue.
