Port forwarding not working with Asus RT-N56U router

TheRealReal:

I have the Asus RT-N56U (running Padavan firmware) and a MyCloud 2TB.  Works fine though I’ve only had it a week or so.  I have UPnP enabled on the router, no port forwarding.  I wonder why you need to use port forwarding for your MyCloud?   How are you trying to access your MyCloud? Through a computer on your home network?  From outside your home network?  By the way, I use my MyCloud as a NAS and to stream video content to two WDTV Live devices in the house. I have not tried to utilize its “cloud” functions yet.

Update: I activated a cloud account and downloaded wd2go to my iphone.  Access to my MyCloud works perfectly.  Nice app…  I will also add that my MyCloud updated to the latest WD firmware this morning. 

I recommend updating the FW and enabling UPnP on your Asus router. You might also try the Padavan FW for the N56U.
