4.1 Port Range Forwarding

Port range forwarding is useful for web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, gaming and other specialized Internet applications. When you enable
port forwarding, the communication requests from the Internet to your router's WAN port will be forwarded to the specified LAN IP address. As
seen in the figure above, to let PC3 access service ports on PC1, you must first configure port forwarding settings on the router to which PC1 is
uplinked.
Start/End Port: Specify a range of ports between 1~65535 (for a single port, enter the port number in both Start and End fields, say, 21 for
FTP). Contact corresponding service provider if you don't know the port number of the service to use.
LAN IP: Specify the internal host's IP address. Be sure to statically assign the host's IP address to make this function constant.
Protocol: Specify the protocol required for the service utilizing the port(s).
Enable: Check to enable current settings.
OK: Click to activate your settings.
Now, your friends only need to enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21 in their browsers to access your FTP server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the router's WAN
IP address. Assuming it is 172.16.102.89, and then your friends need to enter ftp://172.16.102.89:21 in their browsers.
For example: You want to share some large files with your friends who are not in your LAN; however it is not convenient to transfer such large
files across network. Then, you can set up your own PC as a FTP server and use the Port (Range) Forwarding feature to let your friends access
these files. Assuming that the static IP address of the FTP server (Namely, your PC) is 192.168.0.10, you want your friends to access this FTP
server through default port of 21 using the TCP protocol, then do as follows:
Start/End Port: Enter 21 in both Start Port and End Port fields.
LAN IP: Enter 192.168.0.10
