Port Forwarding not working correctly

Trying to port forward a couple of games. My call of duty port forward is very intermittent, sometimes it works so i get open NAT sometimes it doesnt so i get moderate or strict. My Minecraft port forward is the biggest issue though. Nobody can connect to the server i'm running, but the server is confirmed working as I can join it. Any ideas?

Can you tell us which router you are using?

Couldn't give you  a model number or anything, but it's small, white and has plusnet written on the front. The LED's are green

Re: Port Forwarding not working correctly

Is it one of these two models?

Re: Port Forwarding not working correctly

I'm afraid if you google 'Plusnet 2704n port forwarding', you will soon discover this router has a history of issues.

I can only suggest you try this solution:

If all else fails, you may need to consider a different router.

What router did you use previously?

Fix

Home Hub 3 will work with our service, you'll just need to reconfigure it to use your Plusnet login credentials.
