Opening Ports for Synology RS409RP+ on the Dlink DSL-500T Firewall
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router.
By default the IP address should be set to 10.1.1.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default both the username and password are admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.
Please visit our Default Router Passwords page if the username and password shown above do not work for you.
Click the Advanced button near the top of the page.
Click the Filters button near the left side of the page.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to setup your router's firewall for Synology RS409RP+. Go ahead and enter the settings shown below into the Filters menu and then click Apply.
