2.4.1 Port Forwarding

The Port Forwarding allows you to re-direct a particular range of service port numbers (from the
Internet/WAN Ports) to a particular LAN IP address. It helps you to host some servers behind the
router NAT firewall.

Note: You need to give your LAN PC clients a
fixed/static IP address for Port Forwarding to
work properly.

can choose to forward “TCP” or “UDP” packets
only or select “both” to forward both “TCP” and
“UDP” packets.

WAN port with the assigned port range will be
