Port Forwarding Populous 3 on the Netgear WGR614v5

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 you.

Or you can take alook 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 Port Forwarding / Port Triggering link near the left of the page.

Put a dot into the Port Forwarding radio button.

Click the Add Custom Service button.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Populous 3 requires you to forward the 7575 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Custom Services menu and then click Apply.

And that is it! You are done!

To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
