• If you want to disable this entry, click the Bulb icon.
• It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are not clear about which port or
protocol to use.
• If the local host device is hosting more than one type of available services, you need to create a rule for each service.
Please note that the External Port should NOT be overlapped.
11. 3. Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering
Port Triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.
When a host on the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the
external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The mesh device can record
the IP address of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external ports,
the mesh device 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 and Quick Time 4 players, etc.
Follow the steps below to configure the Port Triggering rules:
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net or http://192.168.88.1, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the
password you set for the mesh device.
2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering and click
