Port forwarding is a method to direct network traffic from the 
Internet to a specific port or a specific range of ports to a device 
or number of devices on your local network. Setting up Port 
Forwarding on your router allows PCs outside the network to 
access specific services provided by a PC in your network.

NOTE:   When port forwarding is enabled, the ASUS router blocks 

unsolicited inbound traffic from the Internet and only allows replies 

from outbound requests from the LAN. The network client does not 

have access to the Internet directly, and vice versa.

To set up Port Forwarding:
1.  From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN 

> Virtual Server / Port Forwarding tab.

2.  On the Enable Port Forwarding field, tick Yes.
