Linksys Routers
The following procedure applies to the Linksys BEFSX41 router. If you have a
different Linksys model, the settings may vary slightly. This procedure assumes
that your router is correctly configured and connected to the Internet and that your
network is operational.
To configure a Linksys router:
1. In a browser such as Internet Explorer, type the IP address of your router,
which you can find in your router’s documentation.
2. Log in to your router setup using the user name and password, which you can
find in your router’s documentation.
3. Locate the Port Range Forwarding page.
Depending on your router model, the Port Range Forwarding page may be
listed in the Advanced menu or the Applications and Gaming menu.
4. On the Port Range Forwarding page, enter this information for the first port
you need to open (such as port 1720):
5. Repeat Step 4 of this procedure for the remaining ports that you need to open.
(For the list of ports that you need to open, refer to the table on page
3-7 .)
6. When you have opened and assigned all of the ports listed in the table on page
3-7 , review the Port Range Forwarding list. Check that all the ports are correct,
enabled, and assigned to the correct IP (internal) Address.
