3.6.8.2 Port Forwarding
This page includes the ‘port forwards’ list and how to add new port forward rules.
Please note – The router’s default management port for the web interface is http port 80. Therefore,
if you need to port forward 80 to a device on the LAN, you will need to change the http management
port number. (e.g. if set to 81, you will need to enter into the web browser 192.168.8.1:81 to reach
the router). This can be done at: Network > Firewall > Security.
(See section 3.6.8.5 below)
TROUBLESHOOTING – The device on the LAN side (DVR/NVR, BMS system, Controller etc.) must
be configured correctly to connect to the router. You will need to configure a static IP address on
your device, this IP address needs to be in the same subnet as the H685 and not conflicting with
the DHCP server.
The device will also need its default gateway to be set as the router’s IP
address. (This is the most commonly missed setting).
In most set-ups the external port will be the port contactable on the internet using the router’s public
IP, this will then send the request on to the device on the router’s LAN side with the internal IP
