Tips:
1.
It is recommended to keep the default settings of

are not clear about which port and protocol to use.
2. If the service you want to use is not in the

, you can enter the
corresponding parameters manually. You should verify the port number that the
service needs.
3.
You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in a
modem router. Please note that the

cannot be overlapped.
Users in the Internet can enter
http:// WAN IP
(in this example:
http:// 218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website.
Tips:
1. WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by
ISP, it is recommended to apply and register a domain name for the WAN by DDNS,
go to

for more information. Then you can
use

Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering
Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports. When
a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the external
ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The modem router can record the IP
address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports, the

modem router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly
applied to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include MSN
Gaming Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.
Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:
Visit
http://tplinkmodem.net
, and log in with the password you set for the modem
router.
Go to

port and protocol, the external port and protocol will be automatically filled with
contents. Here we take application

as an example.
Click
OK
to save the settings.
Tips:
1. You can add multiple port triggering rules according to your network need.
2. If the application you need is not listed in the
Existing Applications
list, please enter the parameters manually.
You should verify the external ports the application uses first and enter them into

Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by
DMZ
When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in the local network, it is totally
exposed to the Internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication
between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with

all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special
applications, like IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ
host.
Note:
DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the
DMZ host is totally exposed to the Internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. If DMZ is not in use,
please disable it in time.
make the home PC join the Internet online game without port
restriction.
For example
,
Due to some port restriction, when playing the
online games, you can login normally but cannot join a team
with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ
with all ports opened.
Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example
192.168.1.100.
Visit
http://tplinkmodem.net
, and log in with the password
you set for the modem router.
Go to
Advanced
>

and select the
checkbox to enable DMZ.
Enter the IP address 192.168.1.100 in the

to save the settings.
The configuration is completed. You’ve set your PC to a DMZ
host and now you can make a team to game with other players.

Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows the applications or host devices
to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the
corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices in the
both sides of NAT device can freely communicate with each other realizing the
seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you want

to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time
communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.
Tips:
1. UPnP is enabled by default in this modem router.
2. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.
3. UPnP feature needs the support of operating system (e.g. Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8, etc. Some of
operating system need to install the UPnP components).
For example
, When you connect your Xbox to the modem router which has connected
to the Internet to play online games, UPnP will send request to the modem router to
open the corresponding ports allowing the following data penetrating the NAT to
transmit. Therefore, you can play Xbox online games without a hitch.
Modem Router

WAN
If necessary, you can follow the steps to change the status of UPnP.
Visit
http://tplinkmodem.net
, and log in with the password you set for the modem
router;
Go to
