Port Forwarding for the ZyXEL P-660HW-D1


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!




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 password. Enter your password now. By default your password is 1234. Click the Login button to log in to your router.




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

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




Click the Port Forwarding button near the top of the page.




Select User define from the Service Name drop down box.


Put a checkmark in the Active checkbox. Enter the name of the program into the Service 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. If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the Start Port and the End Port boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the Start Port box. Then enter the highest number of that range into the End Port box. Enter the ip address to forward these ports to into the Server IP Address box. If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on your computer, you should enter your computer's ip address into that box. When you are finished, click the Apply button.

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

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




Remove the checkmark from the Active Firewall checkbox.

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

And that's it! You're done!
