You can disable port triggering temporarily without removing any port triggering rules. To disable port triggering: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the access point network. 2. Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field. If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 27. A login window displays. If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on page 30. 3. Enter the access point local device password. The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password is case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. 4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding / Port Triggering. The Port Forwarding / Port Triggering page displays. 5. Select the Port Triggering radio button. The port triggering settings display. 6. Select the Disable Port Triggering check box.
