[ROG Gaming Router GT-AC2900] How to
set up OpenNAT?
How to set up OpenNAT?
Introduction of OpenNAT
Most proxy servers, firewalls, or SAMBA services will limit the access to connecting ports.
These settings will possibly block the unknown packages and lead to connection failure when
playing the online games. OpenNAT is a new feature which allows users to open ports and
allows connections through your firewall to your home network via preset game profile. Users
can create port forwarding rule within 2 clicks.
How to Set up OpenNAT?
1. Open a web browser and navigate to ASUSWRT (http://router.asus.com).
Login with your username and password.
2. Click OpenNAT
3. Enable Port Forwarding
