Port Range Forwarding Settings allow you to configure ports that are to be used for public
services on your network, such as security cameras, web servers, FTP servers, email servers or
other specialized Internet applications.
Important:
 The gateway normally implements a feature called Port Translation. Port
Translation monitors those ports that are used by your PCs or other devices on
your LAN. This monitoring provides an added level of security beyond what the
firewall provides. However, there are some applications that require the gateway
to use specific ports to connect over the Internet.
 Port Range Forwarding continually exposes the selected ports to the public
Internet. This means that the firewall is not active on these ports. The device with
the forwarding IP address can be exposed to hacker attacks while the port range
is being forwarded.
