Free Port Forwarding Guides & PFConfig: Forward Your Ports Automatically
The Default Port Forwarding Guide for the Buffalo WYR-G54
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 192.168.11.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now.
By default the username is root, and the password is blank. 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 Network button near the left of the page.
You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click Address Translation.
Put a checkmark in the Enable The Address Translation Settings checkbox.
Enter the name of the program into the Server Name box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why these ports are being forwarded would be a good idea.
Use the Local Client Server box to choose a computer to forward ports to. This box contains a list of computer names that are visible on your network.
Use the Protocol drop down box to select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding.
If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into both of the WAN Side Port and both of the LAN Side Port boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the left hand WAN Side Port and LAN Side Port boxes. Then enter the highest number of that range into the right hand WAN Side Port and LAN Side Port boxes.
When you are finished, click the Add New Server button.
And that is it! You are done!
To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
