Apex and Telus

[windcoast reefs]

I have the exact same problem! Same router through telus and I've had nothing but issues for the past year. I open a port and 5-7 days later its closed. Ive called telus many times and they keep saying its for my network protection. Ive asked them several times not to mess with it, but again 5-7 days later my ports are closed and I get the same story, its for my network protection, and they tell me nothing else.

Ive just learned to live with it, but at the end of this year ill be switching to shaw.

Jake, thanks for sharing. I'm gonna have my brother to have a look at all this and hope I didn't regret changing to Telus from Shaw. I signed a pretty good deal... 1 yr for $45 for phone, HDTV and internet

I hate that For Your protection crap!!! How the heck do they know what ;level of protection I want or need? Good to know, I'll never go back to Telus. I ditched the land line years ago cause of BS service and them Charging me extra for NOT having a long distnce plan!!!! I never call long distance, why would I want a plan? And why are you charging me for NOT?

then you're not doing something right. it works perfectly on my apex and everyone else i know that uses that port.

do you have telus tv? do you have the zyxel modem or the actiontec? 1 antenna or 2?

As I said, it does not work on the mobile apex appl. Mine is the actiontec 2000 model, I have telus tv and there are two antennas.
Can you give a run down of what it should look like while setting up the port forwarding and what to imput while setting it up on the appl?
Now, this is for accessing via wifi... How about operating outside of wifi? I don't see telus offering an external ip address...

Thanks
