Hello everyone. Before you go off an decide I don't know what I'm doing; let me assure you, I have successfully run numerous servers in the past; all with no problem port-forwarding. I recently got a new router (ASUS RT-N66U) and well, I have been having some issues...I am doing everything the manual says to do; as well as following online tutorials. The dang ports just won't open, any help would be greatly appreciated: (Sorry for the wierd images; I have dual monitors)

Maybe try forwarding the "official" port of Minecraft, 25565.
Check if the new router has a built-in firewall that's silently blocking things.
Check that the old router is not in use any more.
Start your server and test the port you forwarded with canyouseeme.org.
I have tried the official port, 25565. Still no luck. I have also tried 25566, 25567, which are ports I have used in the past. I decided to try the random '8909'; to see if it would help.
The new router does have a built in firewall. I disabled it however; still no luck.
Old router is not in use anymore. It isn't even plugged in.
I will start my server and test it with that site and get back to you, thanks for the suggestions and help!
EDIT: Well everyone, haha, no idea what did it; but it is working now.
Close ups:
Click it or it will die...A cold painful death.

I'm also having the same problem with the same router, sadly though, mine hasn't randomly started to work. Does anyone have any help on this?
