OPTION 3: OPENING PORTS USING DMZ ON 2WIRE ROUTERS
Accessing your router’s DMZ controls:
2Wire brand routers are currently the exclusive router used for AT&T’s Uverse and other
Internet servers. Their configuration protocols are different enough that you should follow
these instructions rather than the generic router instructions in Option 2 if you are an AT&T
customer.

This website will also display your Public IP address near the top of the page above the box
where you entered your port number. This is the number which you will use to access the NVR
using a web browser or your mobile device from outside of your local network (away from the
building in which your NVR is located).

If you are successful after changing from port 85, then you will need
to add that to the IP address when accessing the NVR via the Internet. If, for
example, you changed to port 81, the address would now read 64.245.112.90
