A Smile 4GLTE router contains a basic firewall to help protect your home network. A Firewall blocks incoming connections by nature. Sometimes you need to unblock some of these connections so you can run a game or application. This is called opening a port or port forwarding. Port forwarding is literally forwarding a port from the internet to your home network.
To open ports in your Smile 4GLTE router, follow the steps below:
- On the computer or device that you are forwarding ports to, you will need to set up a static IP address.
- Login to your Smile 4GLTE router.
- Find the Virtual Server section in your Smile 4GLTE router.
- Click on the Server tab at the top of the screen.
- Find the Virtual Server tab at the top of the screen and click on it.
- Create a Virtual Server entry.
Opening ports in a router can be a difficult process the first few times. Don't get discouraged! We will walk you through all the steps to open a port in the Smile 4GLTE 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 - Setup A Static IP Address
It is important to set up a static IP address in the device that you are forwarding a port to. This ensures that your ports remain forwarded even after a reboot, power outage, or another type of device or router disconnect.

Or follow our Static IP Address guides to setup a static IP address.
After setting up a static ip address on your devices you need to login to your router.
Step 2 - Login To Your Smile Router
In order to login to the Smile 4GLTE router you need to use a web browser. The Smile 4GLTE router uses what is called a web interface where you can access and control router settings.
Go ahead and open up your favorite web browser. If you don't have a favorite or are not sure what this means, open up Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
If this step is confusing, we have simplified it for you with this link: Login to your 4GLTE Router
Find the address bar once you have opened up a web browser. This is usually located at the top of the page, like in the image below.
Above is an example of what a web browser address bar looks like. Find the address bar in your web browser and type in your router's IP address.
The default IP address for the Smile 4GLTE router is: 192.168.1.1
Once you have entered your router's IP address in the address bar go ahead and click the enter button on your keyboard. You should see a box like the one shown below.
Go ahead and enter the username and password for the Smile 4GLTE router in the spaces available. Remember if you have changed them in the past, you need to enter those values.
- The default Smile 4GLTE Router Username is: admin
- The default Smile 4GLTE Router Password is: admin
Enter your username and password, and then click the Login button to log in to your Smile 4GLTE router.
Smile Username and Password Trouble
If the username and password that you typed in did not work, check out our Default Smile Router Passwords page for other ideas about possible passwords.
If, after trying the above list of passwords you still can't log in, you may need to reset your router. Learn how to do that by reading our How to Reset a Router guide. After resetting the Smile 4GLTE router your username and password are reverted back to factory defaults. Router settings may also change when you reset, so make a note of your current router settings before you reset.
Step 3 - Find The Port Forwarding Section
You should be on the home page of your Smile 4GLTE router once you have successfully logged in. Find the Virtual Server section of your router.
- Click the Server tab at the top of the screen.
- Find the Virtual Server tab at the top of the screen and click it.
You should now be on a page that says Virtual Server.
Step 4 - Create A Port Forward Entry
Make sure that you must open a port in your router before doing so since this will allow data to come through the firewall portion of your router to a specific device. It is possible that this could lead to malicious traffic on your network. However, don't let this warning stop you from making this change if you need it because the risk is very low.

- Type in a name for this forward in the service 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.
- To forward a single port, enter the port number into both of the external Port boxes. To forward a range of ports, enter the lowest number in the range into the first external Port box. Then enter the highest number in the range into the second external Port box.
- Take the values that you entered in the external Port boxes and put the exact same numbers in the Internal Port boxes.
- You need to enter the IP address that you are forwarding ports to into the Internal Server IP box. This can be either the IP address of your computer or any other IP address on your network that you want ports forwarded to.
