Does anyone else out there own the TP Link Archer C5400 Tri-Band MU-MIMO Wireless AC5400 Gigabit Router?
I am using it with a Windows 10 machine and am unable to properly open ports for torrenting. I use qBitorrent 3.3.13 as my client. I also use PeerBlock while torrenting.
I have plenty of experience properly opening ports on routers in the past. However, I can't figure out how to properly open ports on the Archer C5400 Tri-Band MU-MIMO Wireless AC5400 Gigabit Router.
I have properly opened the correct port using the guide on portforward.com: https://portforward.com/tp-link/archer-c5400/ and I've also opened the correct port in the Windows 10 Firewall. I am still firewalled on DIME and TTD (the only torrent sites I frequent).
Could PeerBlock be causing the issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!!

The PortForward website is the gold standard for setting up routers and computers, so the information there is solid. At the risk of stating the obvious, have you set up your computer so it has a static IP address? > https://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm (https://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm) When I first started torrenting years ago, I was stymied until I did that. Everything fell into place afterwards.

Google is your friend. I literally just did this on my DD-WRT R7000
Once you think you have it done then test the port at http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and make sure it is open
