1.You may be behind more than one router

More often than not, your computer connects to your home router(ZTE F680) which then connects to your internet service provider’s router before connecting to the internet(port forwarding through 2 routers). To find out, log in to your ZTE F680 Router and check the IP address on the status page. If it is not the same as your external IP address (a quick Google search of ‘what is my IP’ should help) then your ZTE F680 is not the internet facing router.
If that’s the case, you may need to login to the first router and enable DMZ for the second router’s (ZTE F680) IP Address.

2.Did you enable static IP on your devices that’s requesting port forward on your ZTE F680 router

Yes, we’re repeating a step here we know, but it’s imperative you’re sure. If your IP changes every time you reboot your PC/console, it means the network setting is still set to dynamic. Follow step 1 in this guide, reboot your device and confirm the IP hasn’t changed. Now you’re good to go. (In few cases, though the static IP is enabled correctly, a reboot may be required for proper IP recycling. Well, Reboot does work)
Ofcourse, Port forwarding does work without static ip, But once you turn off your device you may lose the IP and will not receive any incoming traffic from ZTE F680 Router

3.Verify that you entered correct IP Address on port forwarding in ZTE F680

Log in to the Port forwarding section of your ZTE F680 router and verify the IP entered is correct. First understand which end device will use this port (XBOX / PS3 / PS4 / PC / IP Camera) and enter the IP Address of that device.

Note: If your ZTE F680 Router says that have you to choose your computer’s name from dropdown box for the port forwarding rule instead of an IP address, make sure there are no duplicate computer names and you have chosen the right one.

4.Check the External IP addresses field in the port forwarding rule of ZTE F680 Router

Check if ZTE F680 Router has a field called “External IP address” in the port forwarding section. Make sure you Enter «0.0.0.0» in the External IP address fields.

External IP addresses are not entered unless you are restricting access from specific WAN addresses. You also would not enter LAN IPs or your own public IP.

5.Double check / tweak your ZTE F680 Firewall settings

In this age, cyber security is of utmost importance. Some router developers are producing routers with more built-in firewall. While this is definitely a positive, some of these options could restrict incoming connections even if a port forwarding rule is set on ZTE F680 Router. Thankfully we programmers are a humble lot. Routers come with excellent information on the help page and a quick glance should tell you which settings need to be modified/disabled. Usually, you can just set the firewall settings to its minimum settings on ZTE F680 Router. And don’t worry, your computer will continue to be protected.

6.Check your PC Firewall settings allows incoming port traffic from ZTE F680 Router

Your Windows / Mac / Linux firewall / antivirus could be blocking connections.

You need only one Antivirus and Firewall application. Make sure you turn windows firewall “ON” and that no other firewall is installed. Then try adding the ports to the firewall app, not just the program that is going to use them

If you’re using a 3rd party Antivirus solution, check if it has a built-in firewall as part of the antivirus solution. A quick look at the apps homepage should give you a clue.

7. Using the same port in different port forwarding rules of the ZTE F680 router

port is your home network’s doorway and can be forwarded to only one Computer/IP at a time. Ensure you didn’t type-in the same port in multiple forwarding rules on your ZTE F680 Router.

8. Is DMZ Enabled on your ZTE F680 router?

DMZ is an ‘open all ports’ rule. On most routers, this rule simply overrides port forwarding rules. You may want to disable DMZ and give it another go.

9. Reboot ZTE F680 after adding port forwarding rules

Some routers, like most application, need to be rebooted after settings have been applied or changed. A simple tweak in the regular power cycling (Why am I trying to impress you? Unplug the power cord and shove it back in is all I’m saying) helps with most issues.

10. Did You Hard Reset your ZTE F680 Router?

A factory reset is an easy way to uninstall unwanted mods, updates, and clear out custom settings on your ZTE F680 Router. Resetting ZTE F680 will set it back to its initial condition, just like it was when you bought it. Now, let’s give it another go

11. Tried everything but no luck? Time to visit the showroom.

Last but definitely not the least, your ZTE F680 Router could be faulty. Although a rarity in todays ‘customer satisfaction’ era, it is still a possibility. There have been cases where single pieces of equipment or an entire range of models have had bugs in their firmware (programmers are human too). Your first step will be to look for a firmware update, which is likely to have a bug fix. If this doesn’t help or if there’s no update available, you have earned the right to barge in to your dealer’s office and request for, nay, demand for a new model!
