How do I open a range of ports on my DI-704UP using Firewall rules?

Step 1

Log into the web based configuration by typing in the IP Address of the router

(default:192.168.0.1) in your web browser. The username is admin (all lowercase) and

the password is blank (empty).

If you are having difficulty accessing web management, please see the first question

in this section.

Step 2

From the web management Home page, click the Advanced tab then click

the Firewall button.

Step 3

Click on

Enabled and type in a

name for the new rule.

Step 4

Choose WAN

as the Source and

enter a range of IP

Addresses out on the

internet that you would

like this rule applied

to. If you would like

this rule to allow all

internet users to be

able to access these

ports, then put an

Asterisk (*) in the first

box and leave the
second box empty.

Step 5

Select LAN as the Destination and enter the IP Address of the computer on

your local network that you want to allow the incoming service to. This will not work
with a range of IP Addresses

.

Step 6

Enter the port or range of ports that are required to be open for the incoming

service.

Step 7

Click Apply and then click Continue.

Because our routers use NAT (Network Address Translation), you can only open a

specific port to one computer at a time. For example: If you have 2 web servers on

your network, you cannot open port 80 to both computers. You will need to configure

1 of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the first computer

and then open port 81 to the other computer.

Note: Make sure DMZ host is disabled.
