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.

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 192.168.1.254.

I do not know the default username and password for your router. If you know them, please use our Comments page to let us know what they are. Thanks!

Click the Firewall link near the left side of the page.

You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click Port Forwarding.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Age of Empires III requires you to forward the 80,2300-2310 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Forwarding menu and then click Apply Changes.

You should see another page of settings that need to be entered into one of the blank lines on your routers Port Forwarding page. Go ahead and enter those settings and then click Apply Changes.

And that is it! You are done!
