TP-link router (TL-WR541G) port forwarding doesn't work

[JcGross]

Hi! Can I get some help? I'm trying to get Splinter Cell Blacklist multiplayer to work by forwarding specific ports (recommended on the ubisoft support site here). I just updated the firmware but whenever I check if the port that I opened is really opened with an online check it says that the port is closed. I used this: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and this: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/ to check, I'm not sure if these are even reliable, but nontheless I still have connection issues in Blacklist. So do you think it's my router that is sh*t or is it Blacklist throwing a fit?

 

Edit: Ok, I tried factory settings, uPNP is enabled, I tried DMZ, tried complete firewall shutdowns but still every online port check says that the port is closed (and blacklist still can't connect). I'm out of ideas. I think only a new router will solve this problem.

Ok, so I feel like an idiot. Turns out all I had to do to get Blacklist's multiplayer working was to just uninstall Hamachi (which I wasn't using anyway, I just needed it once to play ToriBash with a friend). But the ports are still shown as closed. So I don't know what that's all about, but whatever. As long as it works I'm happy.
