I don’t know how many times I have to say this to people:

 

1) DO NOT port forward.
2) DO NOT disable your firewall.
3) DO NOT mess around with the router without a proper understanding on what you’re doing.

 

Doing any of these 3 things puts your whole network at risk.

 

Gaming should just work with the default configuration on these routers - you do not need to configure anything. I would recommend doing a full factory reset of your Smart Modem if you’ve messed around with firewall rules etc.

 

@hio77 - Do you happen to know if UPNP is enabled by default on the smart modem?

Ok I've done factory reset and everything else under the sun and still doesn't work. Is there anything else I can do?

Eh spark were good to me and honestly i still quite like this kit. for it's price it's really solid.

 

end of the day, i don't do my thing on geekzone because of who i work for.

 

 

 

 

 

I'll be retiring it out of my network at some stage, but that will be once a decent ax option is about....

 

 

 

I just provided a link to the firmware, past that it's probably something quirky...

OP has confirmed all is working now.

 

 

 

Issue here was OP didn't wait for the autoupdate to happen - which isn't instant on skinny, it reaches out to a link and checks the version at intervals.
