Transposing Port Forwarding Settings from old router to MX68 (check my work!)

Hello! 

 

My friend has one of those Verizon range extenders that plugs into your internet and gives you a little microcell situation at home. We are switching his old router out and a MX68 comes tomorrow. I think I did this right I just want to confirm.

Here is the doc that Verizon offers that tells you how to configure it. Page down for Cisco:


https://www.verizon.com/support/network-extender-router-configuration/

 

Here is a screen shot of the old router config that worked fine:

Here is the screen shot of how Ive configured the MX68 settings (router comes tomorrow just getting things ready)

Does this look right? Based on the instructions is there anything else I need to do?

I had a read over their page.  They say not to do anything unless after an hour it has not started working.

 

Their instructions basically just describe going through various consumer routers and allowing inbound connections.

 

99.9% likely you can delete those port forwards and it will work fine.

I would try the device without any of that, personally.  I don’t have experience with that particular device, but often these devices intended for home users give instructions that are not accurate and degrade your security.  I have a strong suspicion it will work out of the box without any port forwarding rules as long as you are not explicitly blocking anything it needs.

Fix was a hard factory reset (paperclip for 10 seconds kind of thing) of the device
