Port forwarding to a local server for services
and applications [router mode]
If the access point is in router mode, and if a server is part of your network, you can
allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach the server. For example, you might want
to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the
Internet.
The access point can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on
your local network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify
a default DMZ server to which the access point forwards all other incoming protocols
(see Set up a default DMZ server [router mode] on page 77).
Note: The information in this section and subsections does not apply if the access point
is in access point mode.
Forward incoming traffic for a default service or application
[router mode]
If the access point is in router mode, you can forward traffic for a default service or
application to a computer on your network.
To forward incoming traffic for a default service or application:
1.
Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
2.
Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide the
service.
The server computer must always receive the same IP address. To specify this setting,
use the reserved IP address feature (see Reserved LAN IP addresses [router mode]
on page 115).
3.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
access point network.
4.
Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the
access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not
know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot
use routerlogin.net on page 27.
A login window displays.
