Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini Router SXR30 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini Satellite SXS30 Manage port forwarding to a local server If your business network includes a server, 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. Set up port forwarding to a local server To forward specific incoming protocols: 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 use the same IP address. To specify this setting, use the reserved IP address feature. See Manage reserved LAN IP addresses on page 118. 3. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi network. 4. Enter orbilogin.com. A login window displays. If your browser does not display a login window but displays a security warning and does not let you proceed, see Resolve a browser security warning on page 27. 5. Enter the admin 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. Leave the Port Forwarding radio button selected as the service type. 8. In the Service Name menu, select the service name. If the service that you want to add is not in the list, create a custom service. See Add a custom port forwarding service on page 162. Customize Internet Traffic Rules 161 for Ports User Manual
