Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk™ Owner's Manual

If you have a server in your home network, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to 
reach the server. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or 
game server visible and available to the Internet.

The router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your local 
network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a default DMZ 
server to which the router forwards all other incoming protocols.



Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.

Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide the service.

The server computer must always have the same IP address. To specify this setting, use 
the reserved IP address feature. See
