Netgear WNR612 Wireless Router User Manual
Port Forwarding
By default, the firewall function of the router hides your LAN. As a result, other
users on the Internet can detect only the router, but cannot access a certain PC in
the LAN directly. If you want to access a PC in a LAN, you need to configure port
forwarding on the router and map the desired port to the corresponding PC in the
LAN. After setting, after receiving an access request from the Internet, the router
forwards the packets to the PC according to the rule of port mapping. In this way,
communication is successfully established between the Internet and the PC in the
LAN.
Choose Port Forwarding in the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page to display
the following page.
