Touche
Anyway I did incremental firmware updates. I’m now up to .46 level firmware. It wouldn’t hop up to the latest. The change logs didn’t indicate anything DMZ or port forwarding-wise.
Rebooted, Fired up the galaxy S2 tablo app. Nada. Trying from web app/browser now. (toggling remote access)
@Mapleaf18, I noticed on your initial screen shot that that you had FTP set up as your forwarding service. It needs to be TCP. Can you confirm which way it is?
…
Uh oh, 10 hours, and only hearing crickets.
Everything working now, or even more trashed?
Finally resolved. It was the ISP after all. Requested a static IP from them and bingo, bongo, SUCCESS! (even though they stated they were not blocking ports) Went through this with them some years back when I had to use a cisco vpn client for the previous company I worked for. Went to a static ip address via my ISP (they now charge $10 extra a month for the privilege) and boom I was in!
Now to address the speed (yeah right) did a test ( I think two other houses on the entire street) and got a blazing speed of 7 down and .85 up. This being in the middle of the afternoon when no one is home (sigh) 
Bummer, I connect to a wireless access point 17 miles away, and get much better performance.
I used to dream of getting DSL.
That dream is gone.
I would just do a hot spot if I could but sadly I have a double whammy. I live in a low lying area so cell phone coverage is spotty at best. I do have a wifi extender for what that good does me. I also have a antennae signal booster but I’ve yet to put it in a place where it can do any good. namely on the top of a 25 foot pole. I live about 5 minutes away from a Spectrum office but now there’s that debacle so no real alternative as of yet. Where I live, although being about 9 to 10 minutes away from a small city is considered “rural” I live between two dairy farms so it’s all about house count.
I believe you were looking at the option menu just above the actual entry. FTP was part of the drop down selection and was first in the list.
