8.8.1. 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.
