8.6.1 Port Forwarding

By default, the firewall function of the router hides your LAN. As a result, other
users on the Internet can detect only the router, but cannot access a certain PC in
the LAN directly. If you want to access a PC in an LAN, you need to configure port
forwarding for the router and map the desired port to the corresponding PC in the
LAN. The router forwards packets to the PC according to the port mapping rule
after receiving an access request from the Internet. In this way, communication is
successfully established between the Internet and the PC in the LAN.
Choose Network Application > Port Forwarding and the Port Forwarding page
is displayed.
