To set up port range forwarding:
1. Log in to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See ''How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi'' on page 10.)
2. Set up a DHCP reservation for the IP address of the computer on which you installed the
software. (See ''How to set up the DHCP server on your router'' on page 39.) In this example,
the IP address of the desktop computer with a BitTorrent client installed is 192.168.1.140.
3. Under Router Settings, click Security.
4. Click the Apps and Gaming tab.
5. Click Port Range Forwarding. The Port Range Forwarding screen opens.
6. Click Add a new Port Range Forwarding.
7. In the Application name field, enter a descriptive name.
8. In the Start ~ End Port fields, enter the range or ports. For this example, the range is "6881 -
6889".
9. Select TCP as the protocol.
10. In the Device IP# field, complete the IP address of the device running the software. In this
example, you would enter "140".
11. Select the Enabled checkbox then click Save. If you don't want to use port range forwarding
but want to keep the information in the table, deselect the checkbox.
Tips---- - To use software like BitTorrent on multiple computers on your network, create
additional entries with a unique range of ports as shown above. BitTorrent works only with
ports between 6881 and 6999.
Depending on your computer's firewall software, you may need to open a range of ports in
your firewall to enable software that uses port range forwarding.
