Alright, so I have port forwarded my minecraft server through my router with single port forwarding by typing in 25565 for the internal and External Port as well as setting it as both a TCP and UDP and having it set up to my computer. I have also allowed the port 25565 through my windows firewall as both TCP and UDP. And I have my computers ip set to static which is what i put in for where i want the router to do the port forwarding stuff. The server is up and running perfectly fine, and I am able to connect. But when i try to use canyouseeme.org to check my port. it says that it failed due to connection timed out. and the same happens to my friends when i try to have them test it. I have tried so many times to get my server up. I am running it on windows 8.1 64 bit with 32 GB of ram (only 8 GB is dedicated to the server). The router we have is a Linksys EA6300 AC1200 Dual-Band Smart Wi-Fi Wireless Router. Now i know i dont have the best internet, but its better than the previous internet provider and i was able to host my server through them. If you need to know our internet speed is 62 ms ping, 8 mbps download, and 2 mbps upload. I just want help getting my server up so that me and my friends can play together. I would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advanced for anyone who reads this and attempts to help me.
Do you have multiple routers in your home? E.g. one modem provided by your ISP in addition to the Linksys router?

What I've done here is set up an example of how traffic will flow from the Internet to your server. All IP addresses are given as examples. What you need to be aware of, is that none of the links can see any devices connected to any other network than those they are part of themselves. The server can connect to any other hosts in the green, red and blue zones, because it is part of the green network. The green network is represented by the Linksys router as a single node on the red network, as 192.168.0.2. This means that the server can access anything on the red network through the Linksys' 192.168.0.2 address. The red network is again represented by the ISP modem as a single node on the blue network (the Internet), under the address 203.0.113.81. This means the server can connect to any server on the Internet, routing first through the Linksys, then through the ISP modem, which will connect using 203.0.113.81.
The Linksys router can also access all three networks - it can access the green network as 192.168.1.1, and the red network as 192.168.0.2, as it is connected to both of those networks directly. The Linksys router can also access the Internet (blue network) through the ISP modem.
This all works because the networks are nested within each other. If the server asks to connect to 198.51.100.28, it will ask the Linksys router to set up a connection to that address. First of all, the router checks if that address is present on the green network, aka. the network that it runs. It sees that the address is a 198.51.100 address, and the green network only operates with 192.168.1 addresses. The 198.51.100 address type is unknown to the Linksys, so it sends it further up the chain to the ISP modem. The ISP modem then does the same checks as the Linksys did, checking if the address is reachable on the red network instead. It isn't, so it sends it out to the Internet, where the connection is further routed until it reaches 198.51.100.28. However, going the other way is troublesome. Say you've got address 192.168.0.4, and it wants to connect to the server hosted on the green network. If you sent a request to the ISP modem, which administrates the red network, to connect to 192.168.1.2, it would be confused and pass it on higher in the chain, because the ISP modem doesn't recognize the 192.168.1 address. What it should have done, of course, is send the request via 192.168.0.2, since that's the Linksys router's external IP address to the ISP modem, however the ISP modem doesn't know that 192.168.0.2 hides a network, it only knows that it is a device with an assigned address. So you, as 192.168.0.4, needs to send a connection request to 192.168.0.2 instead, so that it is passed on to the correct network. However, that means the Linksys router doesn't know where to send the information next when it receives traffic. This is why the Linksys needs to be configured to forward information coming in on a specified port to the server at 192.168.1.2. This is what port forwarding essentially is.
TL;DR: This means that in order for information to be directed properly, the ISP modem needs to be configured to send traffic on TCP port 25565 to the Linksys router, and the Linksys router needs to be configured to the TCP 25565 traffic on to the server.

No, range extenders aren't modems; range extenders just pick up a wireless signal and relays it on to elsewhere in the house. The modem should be the piece of networking equipment given to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Do you see if there is a network cable that goes from the back of the Linksys router (specifically, the yellow one labeled "Internet", as in this picture)? If you see one, can you follow that cable and see if it connects to anything else? (Do not unplug anything!)

I had some trouble getting my router to port forward my server, the problem was that there was a checkbox next to the rule to enable it, once I ticked the checkbox, the portforwarding worked.

Please don't PM me asking for help, I will just redirect you to the appropriate forum, where there are others who are far more skilled than me.
for me the there is a check saying true for enabled. (its automatically checked for me)
and yes i do have a cat5 cable going into the internet port of the modem. as for following it i can not do because it goes into the wall. but actually i think i might know where it comes from, i have modem/satellite thing. theres this box on top of our roof and thats where the internet comes in from. its not "satellite" but its a wireless signal going in. and when i typed in 192.168.0.1 a log in screen appeared. so theres a fifty percent chance that it is a modem. problem is that i have no clue how to log in.... It says cisco and phone adapter utility.
The IP addresses in my post were example only. See if your Linksys router has an external IP address assigned from a local range. To do this on your router, login and go to Troubleshooting section on the left hand side menu. Go to the Diagnostics tab in the window that appears and check IPv4 address under Internet Address.
If this address is a local address (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.(16-31).x.x ranges), take off the last number of the address and replace that with 1, e.g. 192.168.7.181, for example, becomes 192.168.7.1. Go to this address and see if you get a login prompt; then set a port forward on there to whatever address is listed as Internet Address on your Linksys router.
If it is any other IP address, then you should double check that your port forwarding was done correctly on the Linksys, and also check all firewalls.
Remember, do all this at your own risk. Feel free to ask your parents or anyone else who might know about any modems if you can't figure out where it is. Also note that you need to restart any routers you change settings for. Also, don't change settings you don't know what are for on your modem, or you may lose Internet access.

i typed in 192.168.0.1 (because my router said 192.168.0.100) and it brought me to a login screen. and i should add that im the only one in the household who knows what a modem even is. the rest of the family dont know we have one, they hardly even know how to unplug our router.
Alright, so ive learned that my router and modem are like a two in one deal. its one object, but it does stuff for both the modem and router. also i still cant get my server to work.

- disabling/enabling UPnP in router.
- Disabling firewall in router
- Turn off ping blocking feature for WAN side in router
- try different port
- Ask ISP if they are blocking ports
....
UPnP?
Yes UPnP ....
page 36 in manual for your router ...
UPnP is enabled.
router firewall is disabled.
ping blocking is disabled.
i have tried many different ports, 25555, 25566, 25595, ect.
I have no idea how to contace ISP.

yes, we have modem...
Actually it turns out that its a Range Extender, not a modem. i think....
If you have a modem, you also need to port forward the port on the modem to the local IP address of your Linksys router. Example layout:
[INTERNET] → 203.0.113.81 [ISP MODEM] 192.168.0.1 → 192.168.0.2 [LINKSYS] 192.168.1.1 → 192.168.1.2 [SERVER]

wait, a range extender is a modem?
Ah, didn't see your edit.
