Hey everyone, to make a quick TLDR; I can open port 21 but cannot open any other ports. My network is a modem and a access point, Modem is my isp's router and the access point is a TP-Link archer, It's a basic home network but the problem I'm having is annoying. Thing being, I need to port forward a few selected ports, 21 is working fine, but nothing else like 80, 443, a custom port, nothing. I have both open on the modem and access, they are also open in the windows firewall and I have a static IP for my main machine. Could someone help me identify the problem with my network? I'll provide any needed info. Thanks in advance for any help.

Configure the DMZ on your primary router's IP address to test port accessibility.

Hi there, thank you for the update. The DMZ is connected to your host machine, and I've adjusted the modem's firewall settings. No success yet.

Minor adjustment, TCP port 443 is now accessible too, similar to DMZ settings, but it doesn't impact anything.

You successfully resolved the issue by adjusting the Windows firewall settings to allow specific ports.
