Port forwarding rules

Security > Firewall > Port Forward
Port forwarding rules allow to create inbound rules from the WAN interfaces/Internet to
your internal computers or devices for specific services/protocols such as a file server
(FTP), IP camera, web server (HTTP/HTTPS), or remote access, etc.
1. Log into your router management page (see
on page 6).
2. Click on Security, click on Firewall, and click on the Port Forward tab.
3. Review the settings below. When complete, click Add to add the new entry to the list
and Apply to save and commit your changes.
• Name – Enter a name for the new port forwarding rule.
• Protocol – Click the drop-down list to select the protocol for the service to allow:
TCP, UDP, TCP+UDP, or Other.
• External Interface – Click the drop-down list to select the external WAN interface(s)
to allow: WAN1, WAN2, or WAN1+WAN2. For example, choosing WAN1 will only
allow the port forward to work on inbound connection requests on WAN1 only and
inbound connections requests on WAN2 will be denied.
• External Port – Enter the external port number for the service to allow.

rule, click Edit on the port forwarding entry in the list and enter the IP address in Source
IP address field, then click Apply.

Port trigger rules

Security > Firewall > Port Trigger
Port triggering is typically used for applications that require a range of ports to be
dynamically opened on request to an internal device on your network. The router will
wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (trigger port) from a device on
your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will forward a
port or range of ports (match port) to the device on your network.
1. Log into your router management page (see
on page 6).
2. Click on Security, click on Firewall, and click on the Port Trigger tab.
3. Review the settings below. When complete, click Add to add the new entry to the list
and Apply to save and commit your changes.
