I need help with port forwarding on a new router

[Nitrouspeed]

Hi guys, so I've been hosting a Minecraft server for me and my friends for a couple years but my family got a new router recently and I can't seem to get the port forwarding to work for any port. My router is the Asus RT-AX92U. If anyone has any ideas that would be really helpful and thank you in advance.

Things I've tried:

Setting up port forwarding through the "Open NAT" router settings.

Setting up port forwarding through the "WAN" router settings.

Setting my IP to static

Enabling UPNP

Creating Windows Defender rules

Updating my router/PC

Switching from Ethernet to WiFi

Running tracert and I'm not blocked by CGN

Testing if I can open other ports like 5000:5001

 

This is how I set up the port forwarding rules on the new router, (.22 is my wired IP and .222 is my WiFi IP) And before you ask I am aware that these are not my public IPs, I've been using canyouseeme.org to test if the ports work which automatically gives me my public IP and can verify it is correct with ipconfig.

First, don't use wired and wireless at the same time... 

 

Then only forward to the wired or wifi, whichever you use...

 

Source IP enter 0.0.0.0 if there is no option for the internet interface... because source is the whole wide internet... from where your friends come from...

Do this.

Only have a single port forward rule. You have one to IP 192.168.1.22 and another to 192.168.1.222. Set your computer to one of those static IPs and remove the one for the other IP.

 

Also, is this new router connected to the previous one or did it replace it? Make sure that you are not double NATed

 

I would also switch the protocol from both to TCP but it is not needed, both should work.

I normally use ethernet only, I only setup the 2nd rule for testing with WiFi.

I tried to set 0.0.0.0 as the source IP and it still didn't work.

This router did completely replace the old one and the modem is still the same.

weird, It all looks good. Make sure that the minecraft server is working properly. Try to access it from your computer and if possible from another computer in your local network.

LAN works fine, I'm able to connect to the server instantly. It isn't just the 25565 port that won't open it seems to be every port I've tried. Nothing opens.

The only things that comes to mind is DMZ. Did you enable it? make sure that it is disabled, it might be overriding the port forwarding rules.

I checked and DMZ was already disabled.

are you blocking access to port 25565 on your firewall (for java)?

Are you referring to my windows defender? If so I don't know what you mean by for java but I do have rules to not block the incoming or outgoing 25565. I had the server running in the past on this PC so I don't think it has to do with windows, but I'm still willing to try suggestions.

If your talking about in my router I've disabled the firewall while I'm trying to figure out why I can't open any ports.

In the past i've had to allow incoming connections for the java exe that the minecraft server jar file is launching from. For my router I need to leave the incoming port as blank (or any), does it work if you don't specify any incoming port?

I checked and my firewall is allowing incoming connections from java. As for my incoming port I think you are referring to the internal port on my settings, it does say "optional" so I removed it and it still didn't work.
