It is recommended to keep them as default.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding The router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes devices on the LAN use the same public IP address to communicate with devices on the internet, which protects the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the problem that an external host cannot initiatively communicate with a specified device on the local network.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding 10. 1. Share Local Resources on the Internet by Port Forwarding When you build up a server on the local network and want to share it on the internet, Port Forwarding can realize the service and provide it to internet users. At the same time Port Forwarding can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible from the internet. Port Forwarding can be used for setting up public services on your local network, such as HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding 5. Click VIEW COMMON SERVICES and select HTTP. The External Port, Internal Port and Protocol will be automatically filled in. 6.

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.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding Tips: The WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by the ISP, it is recommended to apply and register a domain name for the WAN referring to Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ. Then users on the internet can 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. • 10. 2.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding 4. Click SAVE. Tips: • You can add multiple port triggering rules according to your network need. • The triggering ports can not be overlapped. • If the application you need is not listed in the Existing Applications list, please enter the parameters manually.
