I'm new to plusnet, and using their Hub One router.
In the advanced config I can set up a remote desktop under port forwarding to a pc and this works fine.
My issue is I have two pc's on my home network that I want remote access to.
With my previous broadband and more techy router I could just add port rules to forward to each pc for remote desktop, eg 3389 to one pc, 3390 to the other etc.
With the hub one I cannot see how I can do this - any suggestions ?

Advanced settings->Firewall->Port forwarding->Manage games and applications
Create the rules there.

Is anything listening on port 3390?

a restart of pc's and router has got it working - I think it was probably the pc that needed a restart after I changed the listening port in the registry.
thanks for your help, was thinking I'd have to get a more expensive router as I used to use one of the billion ones which was really good but doesn't work with fibre of course.

You could have translated port 3390 on the WAN interface to port 3389 on the LAN interface.

thanks for all your help, translating the ports would have been a great idea but as it's working now going to leave it be !
got wake on lan working too so well pleased with things now.
