Wireless-N Gigabit Router

External Port

Enter the external port number used by

the server or Internet application. Check with the Internet

application documentation for more information.

Internal Port

application documentation for more information.

Protocol

Select the protocol used for this application,

either TCP or UDP, or Both.

To IP Address

For each application, enter the IP address

of the PC that should receive the requests. If you assigned

a static IP address to the PC, then you can click DHCP

Reservation on the Basic Setup screen to look up its static

IP address.

Enabled

For each application, select Enabled to enable

port forwarding.
Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel

Applications and Gaming > Port Range

Forwarding

The Port Range Forwarding screen allows you to set up

public services on your network, such as web servers,

ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet

applications. (Specialized Internet applications are any

applications that use Internet access to perform functions

such as videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet

applications may not require any forwarding.)
When users send these types of requests to your network via

the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to the

appropriate servers (computers). Before using forwarding,

you should assign static IP addresses to the designated

servers (use the DHCP Reservation feature on the Basic Setup

screen).
If you need to forward all ports to one computer, click the

DMZ tab.

Triggering

The Port Range Triggering screen allows the Router to

watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The IP

address of the computer that sends the matching data is

remembered by the Router, so that when the requested

data returns through the Router, the data is pulled back

to the proper computer by way of IP address and port

mapping rules.
