  • Page 20: Advanced Settings

  • Page 21: Port Settings

    Port Settings Port forwarding—for a single port, multiple ports or a range of ports—sends traffic inbound on a specific port or ports to a specific device on your network. In port range triggering, your router watches outgoing data for specific port numbers. The router remembers the IP address of the device that requests the data so that when the requested data returns, it is routed back to the proper device.
