Chapter 10
NAT Forwarding
Tips:
• The WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by the ISP, it is recommended to
apply and register a domain name for the WAN referring to Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ.
Then users on the internet can use http:// domain name to visit the website.
• If you have changed the default External Port, you should use http:// WAN IP: External Port or http:// domain name:
External Port to visit the website.
10. 2. Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering
Port Triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.
When a host on the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the
external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The router can record the
IP address of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external ports, the
router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port Triggering is mainly applied to
online games, VoIPs, video players and common applications including MSN Gaming
Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.
Follow the steps below to configure the Port Triggering rules:
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for
the router.
2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering and click .
3. Click VIEW COMMON SERVICES, and select the desired application. The Triggering
Port, Triggering Protocol and External Port will be automatically filled in. The following
picture takes application MSN Gaming Zone as an example.
