Enabling Port Forwarding
On a private network, port forwarding maps Internet traffic coming into a specific port to a
specific device on your LAN like a web server. Port forwarding is useful, for example, when

the router's network address translation (NAT), port forwarding allows their information to
come through.
To create port forwarding rules:
1.
Click the
Advanced Settings icon
and then the
Additional Settings
icon.
2.
Click the
Port Forwarding
tab.
