Asus AAM6310 routers include a very basic firewall that helps protect your home network form unwanted access from the internet. Since this firewall blocks incoming connections you may need open a port through it for certain games and applications. This process of opening a port is frequently called a port forward, since you are forwarding a port from the internet to your home network.
The basic process to open a port is:
- Setup a static IP address on either your computer or device that you want to forward a port to.
- Login to your Asus AAM6310 router.
- Navigate to the port forwarding section.
- Click the Services button.
- Select NAT Rule Entry in the drop down.
- Click the Add button.
- Create a port forward entry.
While these steps might seem difficult at first, we will walk you through each step for your Asus AAM6310 router.
We think that forwarding a port should be easy. That's why we created Network Utilities. Our software does everything that you need to forward a port.
When you use Network Utilities you get your port forwarded right now!
Step 1
It is important to setup a static ip address in the device that you are forwarding a port to. This ensures that your ports will remain open even after your device reboots.
- Recommended - Our free Static IP Setter will set up a static IP address for you.
- Another way to get a permanent IP address is to set up a DHCP reservation.
- Or, manually create a static ip address with our Static IP Guides.
This step is important because you want a permanent IP address in your device. If you do not set up a permanent IP address in your device, then when you device reboots it may get a new IP address.
Use a VPN Instead
Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.
We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.
Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.
Step 2
Now we are going to login to your Asus AAM6310 router. Your router has a web interface, so you will login to it using your web browser. This can be either Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Edge. It usually does not matter which browser you choose to use.
Open up your web browser and find the address bar. It should look something like this:
Above is an example of what a web browser address bar looks like. Find the address bar in your router and type in your router's IP address.
The default Asus AAM6310 IP Address is: 10.0.0.138
After entering the IP address of your router you can simply press enter. If all goes well you will see the following screen:
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password.

Enter the IP address that you want to forward these ports to in the Local Address From and Local Address To box. You can enter either the IP address of your computer or the IP address of another computer or device on your network.
The default for Global Address From and Global Address To is set to 10.0.0.138. Leave it like this.
The default for Destination Port From, Destination Port To and Local Port is set to Any Other Port. Leave it like this.
If you are forwarding a range of ports separated by a hyphen then enter the lowest number of that range into the Local Port, Destination Port From box and the highest number of that range into the Destination Port To box. If you are only forwarding a single port number then enter that number into both the Local Port, Destination Port From and the Destination Port To boxes.
Click the Submit button when you are finished.
Click the Admin button near the top of the page.
Click the Commit & Reboot link near the top of the page.
