    I have like 3 spare laptops, and another spare computer. I’m not running anything right now because this router doesn’t support port forwarding no matter what I try (it’s a firmware issue apparently), but they’re always there for me when I need them.

      You could maybe rent a cheap VPS and use that as a reverse proxy. Using Tailscale to create a VPN tunnel so you don’t need port forwarding

      Any way to use other firmware? My shitty ISP is giving private IP address, so I just use tailscale instead.

        That’s the whole thing. I was on CGNAT, and decided to pay $10 monthly to fix it and get a public ip. But NOW I find out the fucking router doesn’t even work. It’s apparently this exact model that has the issue. And only this one. I don’t know if I could replace the firmware.
