Gargoyle Forum

Hi,

I have had a look around the web interface but can not find a setting for activating/deactivating upnp. Is this something that can only be done via the command line?

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris,

Firewall > Port Forwarding
down the bottom

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Checking the web interface I only have 3 menus under firewall which are Connection Limits, QOS (Upload) and QOS (Download).

I am running V1.1.6. Do I have to do anything to get the port forwarding menu option to show?

Cheers,

Chris

Not sure... my guess is maybe you have Internet / WAN disabled under Connection > Basic? Other than that perhaps someone else can help.

My Firewall (1.1.6) has...
Port Forwarding
Connection Limits
Restrictions
Quotas
QoS (Upload)
QoS (Download)

Firewall Tab -> Port Forwarding Sub-tab -> Bottom setting UPNP

Here's a screenshot - just checkmark the UPNP box.

If you don't happen to see it, re-flash your device to be sure
that you have 1.1.6 re-flashed correctly and setup from start.

Do you have it configured as a wireless bridge? Unless you have the router configured as a gateway, you can't do port forwarding. Port forwarding/upnp doesn't make any sense within the context of a bridge.

Hi,

that's it, I have it configured as a wireless bridge. Which explains why I'm not seeing the option.

And of course your right it makes no sense at all. My judgement sense to be clouded by spending/wasting hours trying to get my xbox setup as a media extender to my Windows 7 media center. Issue I'm having is that when I launch the media center on the xbox I get connection failure message. This is when I use my gargoyle wrt54g router as a wireless bridge with a cable from it into my xbox. If plug my xobox directly into my other router exerything works fine. So I'm guessing there is something not right with my gargoyle router.

Thanks for your help guys.

Btw has anyone tried a similar thing or can suggest what might be wrong? I can connect to xbox live and can even get to my music on my pc outside of the media center. It's just the media center that does not seem to work.

Cheers

Chris

Try and do this.

Whatever you assigned the IP of the Gargoyle Router, goto the
other router and put the Gargoyle's IP into the DMZ.

That should bypass any odd firewall rules.

See if that helps with connections, and if it does, there are rules
or restrictions blocking it.

Hi,

I tried that and still can get it to connect. Once It managed to connect for a second and then I got the connection failure message on the xbox again.

I've used Client + AP mode before, but this is the first time I've tried
to use the Wireless Bridge mode.

Wireless Bridge mode performance is rather horrible!

I was testing using speedtest.net

Regular router speed, setup as an AP, I could get speeds of
10mbps down / 1mbps up

Client + AP mode - I could get speed of
5mbps down / 1mbps up

Wireless Bridge mode - I could get these speeds:
0.5mbps - 1mbps down / 05.bmps - 1mbps up

Wireless Bridge was very very slow - not sure why.

Using WEP 128 bit encryption and same connection on all settings.

Try using Client + AP mode and you can also enable UPNP that way.
