HOW TO SET UP PORT RANGE TRIGGERING FOR ONLINE
GAMING
Port range triggering allows the router to watch outgoing data for specific port
numbers. The IP address of the computer that sends the matching data is remem-
bered by the router, so that when the requested data returns through the router,
the data is routed back to the proper computer. An example of port range trigger-
ing would be to enable a USB or Bluetooth headset for online chat and gaming.
