Port Triggers

Port Triggering works by sensing when your game sends data out through a specific

port. The outgoing data signals the router to allow the incoming game traffic to be passed

through the firewall on the correct port. Since the ports are only open when you are

gaming, port triggering is a very secure method for online gaming.

To set up port triggering you need to know what ports your game is using and whether

they use TCP, UDP or both on those ports. Typically this should be included with your

gaming software. If it is not included, try entering the name of your gaming software

followed by “ports used”.

Some games use the same ports for both incoming and outgoing traffic, while other

games use different ports for incoming and outgoing traffic.

Below is an example of setting up the popular game, World of Warcraft

®

for port

triggering.

Looking online, we find that World of Warcraft uses the following ports:

1119-1120, 3724, 4000, 6112-6114, and 6881-6999. We can also find out that these

ports are all TCP. In this case the same ports are used for both incoming and outgoing

traffic, so we would use the same ports as both the triggering port and the target port as

shown below.

To setup

port triggering

for World of Warcraft:

1

Launch a Web browser.

2

In the browser address bar, type

http://192.168.0.1

and press the

Enter

key.

3

In the Login screen, enter:

default username:

admin

default password:

admin

Both the username and password are case sensitive. The default username and

password are printed on the bottom label of your unit.

4

Click the Login button to access the Cable Modem/Router. The

Status

page

appears.

5

Click the

Router

menu tab.

6

Then click

Advanced / Port Triggering

. On the

Port Triggering

page, click on

Create Rule

.

The following page appears.

7

We will need to setup 5 triggers for World of Warcraft. The first rule would cover ports

1119-1120. Enter 1119 in the

Trigger Start Port

field and 1120 in the

Trigger End

Port

field. Since these ports are used to send data both directions enter 1119 in the

Target Start Port

and 1120 in the

Target End Port

.

8

Select

TCP

in the

Protocol

drop down menu since these ports use TCP.

9

Enter a name for this rule, for example WOW1. Select

ON

to enable,

then click

Apply

. Your new rule will appear in the table.

10

Repeat steps 7-9 for the next rule. In this case only one port is used, 3724. Enter

3724 in the

Trigger Start/End Port

and

Target Start/End Port

fields.

11

Repeat steps 7-9 for the remaining ports that need to be opened. When you are

complete the table should look like this:

If your online game does not work and you are sure that you entered the correct ports

on the port triggering page, check to see if you have a firewall running on your

computer that is preventing you from playing your online game. This firewall may be

either the built-in Windows firewall or may be part of a third party security package

you are using on your computer. You will need to allow access through these

firewalls to be able to play your online game.
