Fastest Way to Forward Ports on the Westell A90-750015-07 Router

This Westell A90-750015-07 router includes a basic firewall that protects your home network from unwanted Internet access. Very basically the firewall works by blocking unauthorized connections to and from the Internet. Some online games and programs will run much smoother if you open additional connections. This process of opening more connections is called a port forward.

In this guide, I will show you how to port forward on the Westell A90-750015-07 router. The steps I will show you are:

How to setup a static IP address on either your computer or device that you want to forward a port to.
Login to your Westell A90-750015-07 router.
Navigate to the port forwarding section.
Create a port forward entry.

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.

Recommended - Our free Static IP Setter will set up a static IP address for you.
Another way to get a permanent IP address is to set up a DHCP reservation.
Or, manually create a static ip address with our Static IP Guides.

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.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.
