A Askey RTF3507VW-N1 router contains a basic firewall to help protect your home network. A Firewall blocks incoming connections by nature. Sometimes you need to unblock some of these connections so you can run a game or application. This is called opening a port or port forwarding. Port forwarding is literally forwarding a port from the internet to your home network.
To open a port in your Askey RTF3507VW-N1 router, follow these important steps:
- Go ahead and set up a static IP address on the computer or device that you are forwarding these ports to.
- Login to your Askey RTF3507VW-N1 router.
- Make your way to the Port Forwarding section of the Askey RTF3507VW-N1 router.
- Find the Settings tab at the left of the screen and click it.
- Click on the Local Network tab, which is at the left of the screen.
- Click the Port Forwarding tab at the top of the screen.
- Create a Port Forwarding entry.

Step 2 - Login To Your Askey Router
In order to login to the Askey RTF3507VW-N1 router you need to use a web browser. The Askey RTF3507VW-N1 router uses what is called a web interface where you can access and control router settings.
Go ahead and open up your favorite web browser. If you don't have a favorite or are not sure what this means, open up Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
If this step is confusing, we have simplified it for you with this link: Login to your RTF3507VW-N1 Router
Find the address bar once you have opened up a web browser. This is usually located at the top of the page, like in the image below.
Above is an example of what a web browser address bar looks like. Find the address bar in your web browser and type in your router's IP address.
The default IP address for the Askey RTF3507VW-N1 router is: 192.168.15.1
Once you have entered your router's IP address in the address bar go ahead and click the enter button on your keyboard. You should see a box like the one shown below.
Go ahead and enter the username and password for the Askey RTF3507VW-N1 router in the spaces available. Remember if you have changed them in the past, you need to enter those values.

Askey Usernames and Passwords
If the username or password did not work check out our Default Askey Router Passwords page.
If you are unable to log in even after trying the above list of passwords you may need to consider a reset for your router. Our guide How to Reset a Router can help you with that. After resetting the Askey RTF3507VW-N1 router your username and password will be reverted back to factory defaults.
Step 3 - Find The Port Forwarding Section
After successfully logging in to your Askey RTF3507VW-N1 router you should see the router's home page on your screen. Find the Port Forwarding section of your router.
- Click the Settings tab, which is at the left of the screen.
- Find the Local Network tab located near the left of the screen and click on it.
- Click the Port Forwarding tab, which is at the top of the screen.
You should now be on a page called Port Forwarding.
Step 4 - Create A Port Forward Entry
Forwarding ports in your router creates a path that allows data to get through your network firewall, and this could lead to malicious traffic on your network. So make sure that you must forward a port before actually doing so. However, the risk is very low, so do not let this warning stop you from making this change if you need to.

- Type in a name for this forward in the Rule Name box. Choose a name that will help you remember why this forward was set up since it does not affect the functionality of the forward.
- Select the protocol type of the ports that you are forwarding from the Protocol dropdown box. If your router has the option of Both, then go ahead and select that. Otherwise, select either TCP or UDP as needed. If you need to forward a port for both TCP and UDP, but your router does not have Both, then you will need to create two entries.
- You can enter either a single number or a range of numbers in the External Port box. If you are forwarding a single port number, you can enter it into the External Port box. To forward a range of ports, you can enter the lowest number of that range into the External Port box, followed by a hyphen, followed by the largest number. An example would look like this: 1000-2000.
- Take the same values that you entered into the External Port box, and enter them into the Internal Port box.
- Leave the box next to External IP blank.
- Enter the IP address that you are forwarding ports to into the Internal IP box. It is possible to forward a port to the IP address of your computer or to the IP address of a specific device on your internal network.
- Click on the Add button.
