Asus 68u and BTMM

I have a Asus ac68u router running 380_3264 and I would like to use BTMM. My Mac Mini does appear under Finder and when I click on Share Screen, it will attempt to establish the connection but it will fail. What ports to I have to open on the router to get BTMM to work?


I have tried 4488, TCP and that didn't work. Yes, I have looked at the Apple document about TCP and UDP. I am looking for a direct answer to which ports on this router do I have to enable to get BTMM to work. Yes, I am signed in to iCloud. I did have this working before on a Linksys router.

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Yes, I am talking about accessing my Mac from outside my home network. It works fine inside my network. I was able to use BTMM when I was using a Linksys router automatically without doing anything to port forwarding. Now, I have moved to a Asus router, I have to manually enter the numbers to get BTMM to fully work. Again, I can see my Mac in Finder but it will not let me connect to it which I think I have to manually add the numbers and trying to figure out which numbers to use and which not to use. There is a lot of numbers in that article. Nothing has changed other than the routers. I am signed into iCloud.


It would save me a lot of time, if someone knows already which numbers that I should be using with a Asus router and it works.
