1What firewall is disabled? If the router's, immediately enable it.– JW0914Commented Feb 21, 2021 at 15:21

I did but that doesn't seem to solve the problem– SilicoMarCommented Feb 21, 2021 at 17:38

To resolve your issue, contact your university's tech support, as it's likely a config issue on their end. The router's firewall, in and of itself, is not the issue, so re-enabling it would not solve the issue. When you disable a router's WAN side firewall, you expose it directly to WAN (a massive security issue and something that should never be done). Almost all consumer electronics are not intended to be directly connected to WAN without an intermediary firewall and most OSes do not have a default WAN profile set up by default to allow safely connecting w/o a router– JW0914Commented Feb 22, 2021 at 13:06

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
