Port Forwarding and Port Triggering
Linksys E-Series
To set up port range forwarding:
Applications & Gaming > Port Range Forwarding
1.
Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based
utility” on page 25).
2.
Set up a DHCP reservation for the IP address of the computer on which
you installed the software. (See “How to set up the DHCP server on
your router” on page 29). In this example, the IP address of the desktop
computer with BitTorrent installed is 192.168.1.140.
3.
Click the Applications & Gaming tab, then click the Port Range
Forwarding page.
4.
Enter a descriptive name, then enter the Start Port and the End Port
values to specify the range. In this example, the range is 6881 to 6889.
5.
Select TCP as the protocol.
6.
In the To IP Address field, enter the last 3 digits of the IP address of the
device running the software. The rest of the IP address fields already
completed. In this example, you would enter 140.
7.
Select Enabled next to the To IP Address field.
8.
Click Save Settings at the bottom of the page.
NOTES:
To use software like BitTorrent on multiple computers on your
network, create additional entries with a unique range of ports as
shown above. BitTorrent only works with ports between 6881 and
6999.
Depending on your computer’s firewall software, you may need to
open a range of ports in your firewall to enable software that uses
port range forwarding
How to set up port range triggering for
online gaming
For ALL
Why would I use port triggering instead of port forwarding? Port range
triggering allows the router to watch outgoing data for specific port numbers.
The IP address of the computer that sends the matching data is remembered
by the router, so that when the requested data returns through the router,
the data is routed back to the proper computer. An example of port range
triggering would be to enable a USB or Bluetooth headset for online chat and
gaming.
To set up port range triggering for multiple entries:
Applications & Gaming > Port Range Triggering
1.
Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based
utility” on page 25).
2.
Click the Applications & Gaming tab, then click the Port Range
Triggering page.
3.
See your device documentation for information on the ports that the
device uses.
4.
For each entry in the Port Range Forwarding table:
•Enter a descriptive name (such as PS3 Headset)
•For single ports, enter the same port number in each Triggered Range
and Forwarded Range box.
•For port ranges, enter the same number ranges in each Triggered
Range and Forwarded Range column.
5.
Click Save Settings at the bottom of the page.
