5.1 Port Forwarding
Port forwarding is a method to direct network traffic from the
Internet to a specic port or a specic range of ports to a device
or number of devices on your local network. Setting up Port
Forwarding on your router allows PCs outside the network to
access specic services provided by a PC in your network.
NOTE: When port forwarding is enabled, the ASUS router blocks
unsolicited inbound traffic from the Internet and only allows
replies from outbound requests from the LAN. The network client
does not have access to the Internet directly, and vice versa.
To set up Port Forwarding:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced > Port
Forwarding tab.
2. Move the slider to ON to enable Port Forwarding.
3. Click on the add icon and congure the following settings
below.
