Advanced Settings — Port Open

The Port Open function is provided mainly to facilitate controlled Internet gaming. It

lets you specify the TCP ports that are used for input and output by up to sixteen

applications. When the function is enabled for application, the Wireless Gateway will

allow packets for the specified ports only (and none for any other ports) to pass

between the WAN and the machine on the LAN that started the packet exchange.

The controls in the Port Open settings panel are explained below.

You can turn the function on or off at any time by clicking the Enable control's
