Forgive me if this rant is only semi coherent. But whatever...
I me father recently installed a router so that the network could be all super-wonderful. BUT! The second I try to do anything other than use Internet Explorer, DENIED! I lose access to all the bloody ports that were once freely accessable... So I use the port forwarding feature, that's supposed to work... It doesn't. I searched the internet, and found that quite a few people haven't been able to get port forwarding to work on the same model router than we bought.... WONDERFUL WE'VE A SLIGHTLY DEFECTIVE ROUTER!
So I try everything else I can thinbk of, DMZ server, other shit, I even consider prying open the bloody thing and manually reprogramming the damn thing myself... LUCKILY, it was able to be resolved (through the use of a second power strip and a hub), but I went through several nervous breakdowns trying to fix this bloody thing.
So anyone who does any gaming or requires ANY kind of ports to be open(FTP Hosting, E-Mail hosting, File Sharing) and are looking at the Netgear RP614. GO with something else. Cause In many cases the port forwarding doesn't work for some reason...
Now, after 3 days with a total of maybe 6 hours sleep, I'm going to bed!
