Port Forwarding no longer works on my T3200M
I have a T3200M router and for many months I was hosting a Minecraft server on my computer with the port TCP 25565. Since then it stopped working, and this https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ says the port is closed, even with the server running. I have tried everything I can think of, I've double-checked and triple-checked that all the settings and numbers are correct, but still no success. Nobody can connect, and the port remains closed.
I've tried
- Changing the server port and testing
- Enabling UPnP
- Restarting the Router
- entering Minecraft's ports in the application section of the control page instead of the port forwarding section
There are probably more things I did that I cant think of right now, having struggled with this for a few hours now, but I really don't know how it could just stop working like this. Any help is appreciated.
- The internal configuration file sometimes becomes corrupt after these updates.
Do a factory reset and manually apply your port forwarding over again plus any other customised setting you may have done.
It has fixed similar issues when actiontec devices web interface and observed behaviour no longer matches. I seemed to have it fail after every firmware update and need factory reset as my dynamic dns setting always stopped working after these updates.

Try using a VPN and see if it works. That's what I did for some other issues and it worked. If it does. Please let us know because it could be Telus has issues that are affecting customers in a variety of ways.
Does the external IP address shown on your port checker site match the WAN IP address assigned to the T3200M?
- It matches the modem ip address shown in the router control panel. I believe this is the right number because it always worked before, but I could be wrong.
If your external IP matches the router WAN IP then your service is not behind carrier grade NAT.
What router firmware version are you on? There was an update recently rolled out so it may be that your router needs a reboot. I'm on the new version and my port forwarding still works fine.
