Port Forwarding Apple Remote Desktop on 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.

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




Click the Network link near the left 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.
