Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D7000
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports to a single local computer.
Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer when needed and close the ports when they
are no longer needed.
Note If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time
communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance, enable Universal
Plug and Play (UPnP). See
on page 171.
