Port Forwarding on 4G Router/ Network

Post by Samadhi »

Hello everyone,

I recently changed my internet connection, and am now using a Huawei E5186s-22 which uses a sim card to connect to the 4G network.

I've forwarded a few ports in my day so setting it up didnt •seem• to be a problem. Torrents connect and download as normal... but uploading rarely works, and no matter what I do the port seems closed. Initially, I forwarded the port as normal using the web UI which didn't work. I then tried using the routers built in UPNP, deleting the forward set up earlier, which doesn't work either. (I of course set my firewall to allow incoming connections)

I've tried various ports which are indeed open (pop3, imap, and some randoms that seem to be open e.g: 55681) but nothing seems to work. Which leads me to my question: could this all be down to the mobile (4G) as oposed to wired connection (ADSL)? Or am I missing something obvious?

For good meassure the debut log, which strangely says 'successful'...
