AC1750 Smart WiFi Router Model R6350 Manage Port Forwarding to a Local Server for Services and Applications 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 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 router forwards all other incoming protocols (see Set up a default DMZ server on page 117). 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 reserved LAN IP addresses on page 124. 3. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network. 4. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net. A login window opens. 5. Enter the router user name and password. The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. 6. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding / Port Triggering. The Port Forwarding / Port Triggering page displays. 7. Make sure that the Port Forwarding radio button is selected. 8. From the Service Name menu, select the service or application. Manage Port Forwarding and 178 Port Triggering User Manual
