AVM FRITZ_Box_Fon_WLAN_7570 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 FRITZ BOX Fon WLAN 7570 router.
  3. Navigate to the port forwarding section.
    • Click the Settings button.
    • Click on Advanced Settings.
    • Click the Internet link.
    • Click on Permit Access.
    • Click the New Port Forwarding button.
    • Select Other Applications in the drop down.
  4. Create a port forward entry.

While these steps might seem difficult at first, we will walk you through each step for your AVM FRITZ_Box_Fon_WLAN_7570 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.

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.

NordVPN faster than ever deal!

Step 2

Now we are going to login to your AVM FRITZ_Box_Fon_WLAN_7570 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:

Put a name for this forward in the Name box so that you can remember why you set this forward up. The name does not matter so pick something that has meaning to you.

The protocol that you want to forward is selected from the Protocol box.

If you are just forwarding a single port number then you can simply enter that same number into both the From Port, To Port and the Through Port boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, usually separated by a hyphen, then you need to enter the lowest number of that range into the From Port, To Port box and then enter highest number into the Through Port box.

The To Computer box contains a list of device names that are visible on your network. Choose a device from this box to forward ports to.

Click the Ok button when you are done.

Your ports should now be open. It is time to test them.
