Dynamode BR-6004W-G2M 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:

  1. Setup a static IP address on either your computer or device that you want to forward a port to.
  2. Login to your Dynamode BR6004W-G2M router.
  3. Navigate to the port forwarding section.
    • Click the NAT link.
    • Click on Port Mapping.
  4. Create a port forward entry.

While these steps might seem difficult at first, we will walk you through each step for your Dynamode BR-6004W-G2M 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.

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.

Step 2

Now we are going to login to your Dynamode BR-6004W-G2M 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:

After entering the IP address of your router you can simply press enter. If all goes well you will see the following screen:

You need to enter the IP address that you are forwarding ports to in the Server IP box. It's possible for this to be either the IP address of your computer or any other IP address on your network that you want ports forwarded to.

In the Mapping Ports box type the ports to forward.

Your ports can be entered as a list 23,24,25, a range 500-600, or a combination of both 23,45,500-600.

In the Type box select the protocol that you want to forward these ports over.

Create a name for this forward and put it in the Comment box. The name is only used as a reminder and has no effect on the port forward.

Verify that you have the Enabled checkbox checked.

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