Port Forwarding on Tp Link ER605 Step by step Guide #portforwarding #tplinkrouter
Port forwarding on the TP-Link ER605 involves redirecting specific incoming network traffic from the internet to a particular device or service within your local network. This feature is commonly used for applications such as hosting a web server, gaming server, or remote desktop connection.
Access the Router's Web Interface: Open a web browser and enter the router's IP address in the address bar. The default IP address for TP-Link routers is typically something like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. Log in with your username and password.
Navigate to Port Forwarding Settings: Once logged in, look for the "Advanced" or "Advanced Settings" section. Within this section, you should find a category or submenu related to "NAT Forwarding" or "Port Forwarding". Click on it.
Add a Port Forwarding Rule: Look for an option to add a new port forwarding rule or entry. This usually involves providing the following information:
Service Name: A descriptive name for the service or application you're forwarding ports for.
External Port: The port number on the WAN (internet) side that you want to forward.
Internal IP Address: The local IP address of the device within your network that you want to forward traffic to.
Internal Port: The port number on the LAN (local network) side that the traffic should be forwarded to.
Protocol: Select the protocol (TCP, UDP, or both) for the port forwarding rule.
Enable: Make sure the rule is enabled or activated.
Save Settings: After entering the necessary information, save the settings. The router may require a restart for the changes to take effect.
Test the Port Forwarding: Once the settings are saved and the router has restarted (if necessary), you can test the port forwarding by attempting to access the service or application from outside your network using the specified external port.
Troubleshooting: If the port forwarding doesn't work as expected, double-check the settings to ensure they are correct. Also, verify that any firewall settings on the router or the device being forwarded to are not blocking the traffic.
