YOUR DESIRED STATUS:

Now you need to open a port on your primary router. Follow the remaining steps below.

2.Important: In addition to configuring port forwarding (in the following steps), it is strongly recommended that you either: A. Set a static, or permanent, IP address for your secondary router.

OR

B. Limit the DHCP server range on the primary router so only one IP address is assigned (recommended for advanced users).

If you do not perform one of these two steps, your secondary router’s IP address may change, for example, in the event of a power failure. If this occurs, you will have to reconfigure your primary router again for remote viewing of your Slingbox.

3.Locate the public IP address and the gateway for your secondary router. To do this, follow these steps:

A.Open a Web browser and type your secondary router’s IP address (preceded by http://) in the address bar of the browser. For example, http://192.168.100.1

B.Enter your secondary router’s Username and Password in the login dialog box.
