topic Port forwarding no longer working after potential update - using TP-Link deco mesh router and network switch in Internet https://forum.bell.ca/t5/internet/port-forwarding-no-longer-working-after-potential-update-using/m-p/112207#M26992 <P>Recentrly upgraded to gigabit and replaced all my network nic switches to 2.5gb, was pretty satisfied with how smooth it was. Unfortunately early this morning (before today's storm in Toronto ) I notcied my wifi stopped working. I use a tp-link deco mesh system and had to do a complete factory reset to get wifi going again.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Sadly, now when I try to open a port, it straight out refuses to open. Ive tried port forwarding on my deco mesh router, on the bell giga hub, opening a dmz, but nothing works. I have no idea what broke. I was using PPPOE prior but now that severely throttles my speed. Maybe a limitation with the deco, but it was working fine yesterday. Help or insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm suspecting it was a firmware update on the gigahub that messed with things.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>If I replace the bell hub, that might work but if it is indeed a firmware update, i can see it happening again.</P> Thu, 03 Sep 2026 10:53:02 GMT Netnomad 2026-09-03T10:53:02Z Port forwarding no longer working after potential update - using TP-Link deco mesh router and network switch https://forum.bell.ca/t5/internet/port-forwarding-no-longer-working-after-potential-update-using/m-p/112207#M26992 <P>Recentrly upgraded to gigabit and replaced all my network nic switches to 2.5gb, was pretty satisfied with how smooth it was.
