AC1600 WiFi Cable Modem Router
Manage Port Forwarding to a Local Server for Services,
Applications, and Games
If a server is part of your network, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach the
server. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server
visible and available to the Internet.
The modem router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your
local network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a default
DMZ server to which the modem router forwards all other incoming protocols (see
Set Up a
Default DMZ Server on page 82).
Forward Incoming Traffic for a Default Service or Application
You can forward traffic for a default service or application to a computer on your network.
To forward incoming traffic for a default service or application:
1. Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
2. Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide the service.
The server computer must always receive the same IP address. To specify this setting,
use the reserved IP address feature. See
Manage IP Address Reservation on page 85.
3. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
4. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
5. Type admin for the user name and type your password.
If you did not yet personalize your password, type password for the password.
6. Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
7. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding / Port Triggering.
