FAQ

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. On how to setup a static IP address, please see our Static IP FAQ.

Open a web browser like internet explorer or Firefox. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.2.1. In the example, we use a static IP address of 192.168.2.10

You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is 1234. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.

Click the NAT link near the left side of the page.

This router has two different sections that allow you to forward ports. One section allows you to forward a range of ports, and the other allows you to forward a single port. To forward a range of ports, click Port Forwarding. To forward a single port, click Virtual Server.

Forwarding a Port Range

Put a checkmark in the Enable Port Forwarding checkbox. Enter the ip address to forward these ports to into the Private IP box. If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on your computer, you should enter your computer's ip address into that box. Use the Type drop down box to select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding. If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the Left Port Range and the Right Port Range boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the Left Port Range box. Then enter the highest number of that range into the Right Port Range box. Enter the name of the program into the Comment box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why these ports are being forwarded would be a good idea. When you are finished, click the Add button.

Forwarding a Single Port

Put a checkmark in the Enable Virtual Server checkbox. Enter the ip address to forward these ports to into the Private IP box. If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on your computer, you should enter your computer's ip address into that box. Enter the port to forward into the Private Port and the Public Port boxes. Use the Type drop down box to select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding. Enter the name of the program into the Comment box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why these ports are being forwarded would be a good idea. When you are finished, click the Add button.

And that is it! You are done!
