Port Forwarding Apache on the Linksys WRT54Gv5


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!

Please enter the static ip you want to forward to:

192.168.1.




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 blank, and the password is admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.

Please visit our default username and passsword page, if the username and password shown above did not work for you.




Click the Security link near the top of the page.




Remove the checkmark from the Block Anonymous Internet Requests checkbox.

Click the Save Settings button near the bottom of the page.

Click the Applications & Gaming link near the top of the page.

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




We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Apache requires you to forward the 80,443 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Range Forward menu.

Port Range
Application Start End Protocol IP Address Enable
To 192.168.1.

You should see another page of settings that need to be entered into one of the blank lines on your routers Port Range Forward page. Go ahead and enter those settings now.

Port Range
Application Start End Protocol IP Address Enable
To 192.168.1.

When you're finished, click Save Settings near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!
