Advanced Configuration of the Router
This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your MR814v2 Cable/DSL
Wireless Router. These features can be found under the Advanced heading in the Main Menu of
the browser interface.
Configuring for Port Forwarding to Local Servers
Although the router causes your entire local network to appear as a single machine to the Internet,
you can make a local server (for example, a web server or game server) visible and available to the
Internet. This is done using the Port Forwarding menu. From the Main Menu of the browser
interface, under Advanced, click on Port Forwarding to view the port forwarding menu, shown
below.
