Port Forwarding Speak Freely on the Actiontec MI-424-WR
To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address.
Try our free PF Setup Static IP Address Program which will setup a static ip address for your computer.
Or you can 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 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 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 Ok button to log in to your router.
Please visit our Default Router Passwords page if the username and password shown above did not work for you.
Click the Security button near the top of the page.
Click the Port Forwarding link near the left of the page.
Click the Add link.
Click the Add Server Ports link.
