How do I configure Port Forwarding on my router?
Example: Some applications require port forwarding to be set up in order to communicate with other computers over the Internet.
Step 1: Open your Internet browser and enter http://dlinkrouter, http://dlinkrouter.local, or http://192.168.0.1 into the address bar.
Step 2: The default username is Admin. Enter your administrator password. If you have not changed the default password, this field should be left blank. Click Login.
Step 3: Click the Advanced tab on top and then click Port Forwarding from the menu on the left-hand side.
Step 4: Check the box beside the rule to enable the rule. For pre-defined applications, use the Application Name drop-down menu and click on the arrow button (<<) next to the drop-down menu to auto-fill the appropriate field. For non-pre-defined applications, please enter the desired port. You can open ports for both the TCP and UDP protocols. If you do not wish for the rule to be permanently enabled, you can select a schedule from the Schedule drop-down menu. You can also use the Inbound Filter drop-down menu to select whether you would like to Accept All or Deny All incoming connections on the specified port(s).
Step 5: Select the computer or device from the list of DHCP clients in the Computer Name drop-down menu and click the arrow button (<<) to automatically populate the field, or manually enter the IP address of the device you want to open the specified port for.
Step 6: Click Save Settings when finished.
