2) Single ports using a comma “,” between individual ports,
such as 566, 789.
3) A Mix of port ranges and single ports, using colons “.” and
commas “,” such as 1015:1024, 3021.
• Internet IP Address: Key in the client’s LAN IP address.
NOTE: Use a static IP address for the local client to make port
forwarding work properly. Refer to section 3.10 LAN for information.
• Internet Port: Enter a specic port to receive forwarded
packets. Leave this eld blank if you want the incoming
packets to be redirected to the specied port range.
• Source IP: If you want to open your port to a specic IP
address from the internet, input the IP address you want to
specify in the source IP eld.

To check if Port Forwarding has been congured successfully:
• Ensure that your server or application is set up and running.
• You will need a client outside your LAN but has Internet
access (referred to as “Internet client”). This client should not
be connected to the ASUS router.
• On the Internet client, use the router’s WAN IP to access the
server. If port forwarding has been successful, you should be
able to access the les or applications.
Dierences between port trigger and port forwarding:
• Port triggering will work even without setting up a specic
LAN IP address. Unlike port forwarding, which requires a
static LAN IP address, port triggering allows dynamic port
forwarding using the router. Predetermined port ranges are
congured to accept incoming connections for a limited
period of time. Port triggering allows multiple computers
