Add a Custom Port Forwarding Service
The router lists default services and applications that you can use in port forwarding rules. If the
service or application is not predefined, you can add a port forwarding rule with a custom service
or application.
To add a custom service:

Find out which port number or range of numbers the application uses.
You can usually find this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user
groups or news groups.
2.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router
network.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you
logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
