this)

If mapping a non standard port click on “Add new port mapping”
Enter a meaningful name
Select protocol (TCP, UDP or TCP/UDP (both)). If in doubt select TCP/UDP
Type port number in WAN port and LAN port field. Best to use same port number. If there is a range of
ports enter the first and last port numbers separated by a colon (eg 45:55)
Enter LAN IP address of device. A list of all currently connected device will be displayed.
