Port Forwarding
I have Telus internet 150 with the T3200M and I have a Deco x60 connected to it for everything from wifi to hardwired connections. My problem is I'm trying to setup port forwarding, I have the port f...
Ok interesting, so before i changed anything the cable that brought internet in was originally plugged into LAN1 then i had a second cable plugged into LAN2 going to the Deco. But because of bridge mode i switch the cables so that Deco was LAN1 and the cable bringing the internet in was LAN2. Should i change the LAN2 (internet in) cable to the WAN port?

With the ONT plugged into the LAN1 port instead of WAN port the T3200M was basically acting like a switch. That would explain why port forwarding on the T3200M didn't make any difference. Having said that it seems to me that port forwarding on the Deco should have worked.
If you don't have Optik service then just plug the ONT directly to the WAN port of the Deco and leave the T3200M out completely.
You also haven't provided any details on how you are testing to determine whether port forwarding is working or not.
- I'm using yougetsignal.com to see if the port is open, I tried plugging the ont cable directly into the deco but it won't give me internet. Their is 2 dsl lines plugged into the modem because they used to run to a separate box for optik TV but we haven't had optik tv in years.
I'm confused. You have 2 DSL lines connected to the T3200M and an ONT?
Can you access the web interface of the T3200M (usually 192.168.1.254)? If so
- What WAN Type is indicated on the WAN Connection Status page?
- Does the Modem IP Address match the IP address you see from yourgetsignal.com?
When you say you tried connecting the ONT directly to the Deco which port on the Deco did you use?
WAN type says DSL, and the IP matches yougetsignal. I just used LAN1 on the Deco because apparently it will just sense it and make whichever port you plug into the WAN port
