hello steaming gifteriangs or whatever the hell you are called, i need help with portfowarding, now the problem here resides in that my router page (which is a dcw725 router) doesnt have the options its suppose to have, i looked up guides, this is the menu that its suppose to have a dcw725 thomson router yet mine looks like a DWG855

now apart from that problem its seems the options in my page are only software and connections, its suppose to have more yet i cant seem to open them.

pleh.

ps: on an unrelated note, videos in youtube for me dont play, and the quick link option in the new tab dont appear either.

Look for another firmware, maybe there is something else (like dd-wrt, often used with linksys).

Is this the same router that you bundled or free with your ISP? I suspect that they firmware locked your router.

I suggest searching in google to get the admin/root access and password that the technician from your ISPs uses. If you're lucky, you'll get it. (I've done it before with telus and their own modem)

update/bump, not that anyone cares but i finally got it.

it seems this isp (called telmex) automatically blocks administrator options and you are required to call them if you want to change something in them, i guess they dont want idiots screwing their own shit again and again, but you can still click links and get to said options.
