Connect through two routers for better setup.
Connect through two routers for better setup.
You have two routers set up in a chain: HG658c and HG659, with your PC connected to the second, which links back to the first. You're trying to configure an FTB/Minecraft server but haven't succeeded despite following guides and using portforward.com. The issue seems to be that only one router appears in the network utilities, possibly because the second acts as a relay. I recommend double-checking your cable connections and ensuring all devices are properly recognized. Let me know if you need further guidance.
Configure the second router as a switch. It remains reachable and functions as Wi-Fi.
When double NAT is active, you need to send data twice—first from the edge to router 2, then again from router 2 to your host. Using just the switch side of router 2 limits you to handling it at the edge only.
Ensure you bypass double nat by connecting directly from your PC to your router, then to the ISP router, and finally to the internet. Alternatively, configure your ISP modem or router to operate in bridge mode. In that case, forward only one device's ports. If that isn't feasible, route ports through both routers.
