NAT Forwarding
Tips:
• It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are
not clear about which port and protocol to use.
• If the service you want to use is not in the Service Type, you can enter the
corresponding parameters manually. You should verify the port number that the
service needs.
• You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in the
Mobile Wi-Fi. Please note that the External Port should not be overlapped.
Users on the internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example:
http://218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website.
Tips:
• The WAN IP should be a public IP address. Users on the internet can also use
http:// domain name to visit the website.
• If you have changed the default External Port, you should use
http:// WAN IP: External Port or http:// domain name: External Port to visit the website.
8. 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 Mobile Wi-Fi can record
the IP address of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external ports,
the Mobile Wi-Fi 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://tplinkmifi.net from the PC entry, and log in with the password you set for
the Mobile Wi-Fi.
2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering.
Done!
