Evenroute IQrouter 1005 Router Open Port Instructions

Last Updated: | Reading Time: 6 minutes

Your IQrouter 1005 router helps to protect your network by blocking incoming internet connections. This is an important feature that helps you to control which applications have access to your network. Sometimes you want to allow network access to a specific application in order to play a game, connect a device, or use an app. The Evenroute IQrouter 1005 can unblock certain incoming connections through port forwarding or by opening a port. You can open ports in your IQrouter 1005 by assigning specific ports to an IP address. Forwarding these ports directs incoming data to a specific device or application.

To open ports in your Evenroute IQrouter 1005 router, follow the steps below:

  1. Go ahead and set up a static IP address on the computer or device that you are forwarding these ports to.
  2. Go ahead and log in to your Evenroute IQrouter 1005 router.
  3. Make your way to the Port Forwards section of the Evenroute IQrouter 1005 router.

Step 1 - Setup A Static IP Address

If you want to ensure that your ports remain open even after your device reboots, set up a static IP address in the device that you are opening a port for.

After setting up a static ip address on your devices you need to login to your router.

Step 2 - Login To Your Evenroute Router

Log in to your Evenroute IQrouter 1005 router. To log in you will need to use a web browser since the Evenroute IQrouter 1005 uses a web interface to access router configurations.

Open up whichever internet browser that you are comfortable with. If you are not sure which one to use, then go ahead and open Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.

To help with confusion, we have simplified this step for you with this link: Login to your IQrouter 1005 Router

Once you have opened a web browser, find the address bar which is usually located at the top of the screen. The image below shows an example of this.

Evenroute Usernames and Passwords

If the username and password did not work I recommend checking out our Default Evenroute Router Passwords page.

If, after trying the above list of passwords you still can't login you may need to consider a reset for your router. Learn how to do that by reading our How to Reset a Router guide. After resetting the Evenroute IQrouter 1005 router your username and password are reverted back to factory defaults.

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.

  1. Type in a name for this forward in the 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.
  2. In the Protocol dropdown box, select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding. Choose Both if your router has that option. Otherwise, choose either TCP or UDP as needed. If you need to forward a port for both TCP and UDP and your router does not have the Both option, then you need to create two entries.
  3. Choose WAN from the External Zone drop-down box.
  4. 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.
  5. Make the LAN selection in the Internal Zone drop-down list.
  6. Enter the IP address that you are forwarding ports to into the IP Address 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.
  7. Take the values that you entered in the External Port box and put the exact same numbers in the Internal Port box.
  8. Click Add.
  9. Click the Save & Apply button at the bottom of the page when you are completely finished to apply these changes.
