Hello, I'm facing a tricky issue and it's getting more intense. As a non-native English speaker, I apologize for any errors. I'm attempting a basic task: setting up a TCP/UDP port on the main router, which is connected to a wireless device via a cable to my PC (connected through the second router). In the main router admin panel, I navigated to port forwarding and listed the ports, but they stayed closed. The only workaround I found was using UPNP on a computer with an Ethernet connection to the main router. For about two to three minutes, it worked—Emule could open the ports, but once the wizard ended, the ports disappeared. Sometimes, on my second PC (connected to the second router), Emule's UPNP function worked, though testing the ports afterward closed them again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. A few questions: Are you using Teamviewer or Brave? This seems really frustrating. Additional details: My main router is a Zyxel vmg8823-b50b, and the second is a Xiaomi Mi Wifi Mini with Padavan firmware. Both routers have disabled firewalls, and I don’t have any antivirus software installed. The image shows the IP next to "emule" as the IPv4 MAN address of the second router.

Determine if the second router handles NAT, DHCP, and acts as an access point or switch to avoid double NAT.
