RV016 forwarding from both WANS

[tonyp]

I've got port forwarding setup on an RV016, but it is only working from WAN2.  Any incoming traffic on WAN1 doesn't get forwarded.  I got the impression that forwarding rules apply to both WAN ports?  Multiple subnets are enabled, with WAN2 being allocated a subnet that (ironically) the forwarding isn't going into.  I've also tried UPnP (for port redirection, with UPnP disabled), but no joy.  Anyone got any ideas?

Hi Tony,

Swap the connections on WAN 1 and 2 and see if the problem follows the ISP or the WAN ports. If it follows the ISP you will need to contact them for assistance. If it is the router I would recommend that you contact support and have an engineer take a look at your settings.

If you have multiple subnets enabled and your forwarding to address is outside of the subnet for WAN2, that may be the problem right there since there's no gateway that the incoming packet to WAN2 can use.

I've used a setup like this before with multiple forwards from differnent WANs to a single server, but everything was on the same subnet.

Good thought, but the forwarding is working even if it is on a different subnet.  It turns out that incoming connections were being blocked by the upstream router for WAN1.  Thanks for your help folks!
