router temporarily opens the incoming port or ports that you specify for your port triggering service or
application and forwards that incoming traffic to that destination.
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports to a single local computer. Port
triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer when needed and close the ports when they are no
longer needed.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time
communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance, enable Universal Plug
and Play (UPnP). See Improve Network Connections With Universal Plug and Play on
page 86.
Note
Add a Port Triggering Service or Application
Unlike port forwarding, the router does not come with default port triggering services or applications.You
must add them.
To add a port triggering service or application:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin.The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select Settings > Advanced Settings > Port Triggering.
The Port Triggering page displays.
5. Click the Add Service button.
The Port Triggering - Services page displays.
6. In the Service Name field, type a descriptive service name.
7. From the Service User menu, select a user option:
• Any (the default) allows any computer on the Internet to use this service.
• Single address restricts the service to a particular computer.
8. From the Service Type menu, select TCP or UDP.
9. In the Triggering Port field, enter the number of the outbound traffic port that must open the inbound
ports.
10. From the Connection Type menu, select TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP (the default selection).
If you are not sure, leave the TCP/UDP selection.
