You may need to forward ports in your router when you use a QNAP TS-464 device. A port forward allows incoming connection requests from the internet to go straight to a QNAP TS-464 device.

Routers generally do not allow incoming connection requests from the internet. A port forward can overcome this limitation.

Before forwarding a port make sure that you know these things:

• Your router's IP address.
• Your NAS's IP address.
• The list of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.

The easiest way to locate your router's IP address is to run our free Router Detector utility. Our Router Detector tool is free to use and is part of our Network Utilities software.

You can also follow our Find Your Router IP Address article.

The easiest way to forward your ports is to use our Network Utilities software. Network Utilities lets you manage port forwards by putting them in when you need them and also removing the ones that you no longer need which maximized network security.

Another option is to go through the process of forwarding ports one step at a time. The normal process for forwarding a port is:

• Begin by logging in to your router.
• Find the port forwarding section in your router.
• Type the IP address of your NAS into the correct box in your router.
• Enter the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward for a QNAP TS-464 device in the corresponding boxes in your router.

Some routers need to be rebooted in order for the changes to be saved.
