That's the question really - is it possible to do port forwarding using the EE home router 2 and mobile broadband. Apparently we have a Minecraft access crisis!

Port Forwarding may be called Virtual Servers on that router.

Hi there, thanks for replying but I can't find anything called Virtual Servers.

There are UPnP settings but no port forwarding options sadly. Totally stuck.

Could've sworn there would be.

There's definitely nothing called port forwarding or virtual server on the 4GEE home router 2 menu. It's really frustrating as the only reason I upgraded the internet was so the kids could play Minecraft which they run off a server. And now they can't.
They've tried setting up a VPS from a different ISP and port forwarding from there to my 4GEE router, but there's a massive drop in speed, for unknown reasons, which makes it unusable.
Consequently it's all a bit of a disaster! We'd be grateful for anyone's suggestions as to next steps. Thanks.

Post an image of at least the top-level menu & maybe NAT menu.
