Port Forwarding
The Advanced Menu includes the Port Forwarding screen.
The Port Forwarding feature allows incoming traffic (from the Internet) to be forwarded to a
particular computer or device on the MiFi 2200 wireless network. Normally, incoming traffic from
the Internet is blocked.
You need to use Port Forwarding to allow Internet users to access any server you are running on
your computer, such as a Web server, FTP server, or E-mail server. Also, for some online games, Port
Forwarding must be used for the game to function correctly.
IMPORTANT
Port forwarding creates a security risk. This feature should be disabled when it is
not required.
