Configure the Router in WISP Mode (Hotspot Mode)
Virtual Servers can be used to set up public services in your local network, such as
HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different service uses different service port.
Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP service and port
110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the configuration.
I want to:
Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my friends through the internet.
For example
, the personal website has been built in my home PC (192.168.0.100). I hope
that my friends on the internet can visit my website in some way. My PC is connected to
the router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.

parameters manually. You should verify the port number that the service needs.
• You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in a router. Please note
that the
Service Port
