Gaming

The Gaming section is used to open multiple ports or a range of ports in your router and redirect

data through those ports to a single PC on your network. This feature allows you to enter ports in

various formats:

Add/Edit Game Rule

Give the Gaming Rule a name that is meaningful to you, such as Game

Server. You can also select from a list of pre-defined rules for many popular

games. If you have any trouble with pre-defined rules, verify whether the

port values have changed since the list was created. You also must fill in

the IP address field.

Enter the local network IP address of the system hosting the game server,

such as 192.168.0.50.

Enter the TCP ports to open, such as 6159-6180, 99

Enter the UDP ports to open, such as 6159-6180, 99

Select a schedule for when this rule is in effect. If you do not see the schedule

you need in the list of schedules, go to the Tools -> Schedules screen and

create a new schedule.

Saves the new rule or modified existing rule to the Rules list. When you are

done editing the settings, you must click the Save Settings button at the top

of the page to make the changes effective and permanent.

Game Rules List

Entries on this list can be enabled/disabled by toggling the Enable checkbox. Entries can be modified

by clicking on the paper and pencil icon. To delete an entry, click on the trash can icon. After you’ve

completed all modifications or deletions, you must click the

Save Settings button at the top of the

page to save your changes. The router must reboot before new settings will take effect. You will be

prompted to

Reboot the Device or Continue. If you need to make additional settings changes, click

Continue. If you are finished with your configuration settings, click the Reboot the Device button.
