Port forwarding to a local server for services
and applications [router mode]
If the AP is in router mode, and if a server is part of your network, you can allow certain
types of incoming traffic to reach the server. For example, you might want to make a
local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet.
The AP can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your local
network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a default
DMZ server to which the AP forwards all other incoming protocols (see Set up a default
DMZ server [router mode] on page 83).
Note: The information in this section and subsections does not apply if the AP is in
access point mode.
Forward incoming traffic for a default service or application
[router mode]
If the AP is in router mode, you can forward traffic for a default service or application to
a computer on your network.
To forward incoming traffic for a default service or application:
1. Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
2. Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide the
service.
The server computer must always receive the same IP address. To specify this setting,
use the reserved IP address feature (see Reserved LAN IP addresses [router mode]
on page 119).
3. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to a WiFi
network or LAN port on the AP.
4. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, dismiss the warning. For more information,
see Find the IP address of the AP when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 32.
5. Enter the AP local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
