I followed the threads here and have setup a port forward below but cannot connect via FTP using my public IP. Can successfully connect to remote desktop but not FTP. Am I forwarding the port correctly?

 My FTP client can't establish a connection and returns this error "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host". Nothing showing the log.

192.168.1.10
    Application - TCP Any -> 20-21 All Broadband Devices

that port number maybe blocked. try to set up your FTP under a different port number.

Tried port 2121 too and still didn't work. Is there anything else beyond port forwarding I need to setup to get FTP to work? I even tested putting in DMZ as well but still no joy. Never had a problem when I had comcast and linksys router doing the port forwarding.

port 2121 is a udp port. port 22 is a tcp port for SSH, you can try that one, or a open port number of 23. or scan your ports to see whats open.
