Port Forwarding for the A-Link RR24


What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?




 

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Do not skip this step!




Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.1.1.




You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is password. Click the Log In button to log in to your router.




Click the Advanced button near the top of the page.




Click the Port Forwarding link near the left side of the page.




Click the Custom Port Forwarding link near the right side of the page.
