Port Forwarding Configuration for Intellinet Routers

In this post I will be going over the port forward configuration setup for Belkin routers.

1.) Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.2.1.

2.) You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is 1234. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.

3.) Click the NAT link near the left of the page.

4.) You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click Port Forwarding.

5.) Click the Add button and fill in the blanks.

Private IP– Type in the ip address of the device you are trying to forward the ports for.

Type– You can leave on Both

Port Range– Type in the port # you are trying to open

Comment– You can name it whatever you like. It is for your reference.

6.) Once you have saved the settings go to https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and type in the port number that you have forwarded. Make sure it is open. If the port is closed proceed to the next step.

7.) If you have DSL for you internet service you will need to call your provider and have them bridge the modem to your Inellinet router. This is a standard process.
