Port Forwarding
Port forwarding allows designated users or applications to reach specified servers, such as FTP and
DNS servers, on your computer. Also, some online games require incoming access to work properly.
IMPORTANT!
You will need to set up static IP addresses on your WLAN for each device that
has an application to which you want to forward.
The Port Forwarding page allows you to enter the local static IP address for each application that
you want to receive traffic from the Internet.
➊
From the Port Forwarding page, select the check box for the application you want to enable.
➋
Type the local static IP address of the device hosting the application into the IP Address on
WLAN box.
➌
Click Apply when you have finished adding applications.
IMPORTANT!
Port forwarding creates a security risk and should be disabled when not needed.
