Users on the internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example: http://
218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website.
Note:
• If you have changed the default External Port, you should use http:// WAN IP: External Port to visit the
website.
• The WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by the ISP, it is
recommended to apply and register a domain name for the WAN referring to Dynamic DNS. Then users on
the internet can use http:// domain name to visit the website.
4. 4. 2 Port Triggering
Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.
When a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the
external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The router can record
the IP address of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external
ports, the router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is
mainly applied to online games, VoIPs, video players and common applications
including MSN Gaming Zone, Dialpad, Quick Time 4 players and more.
Follow the steps below to congure the port triggering rules:
1. Visit http://mwlogin.net, and log in with the password you set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering.
3. Click Add.
4. Click VIEW COMMON SERVICES, and select the desired application. The
Triggering Port, Triggering Protocol and External Port will be automatically lled in.
