Networking - Port Trigger

When you run a PC application that accesses the Internet, it typically initiates communications with a computer on the Internet. In some applications, especially gaming, the computer on the Internet also initiates communications with your PC. Because NAT does not normally allow these incoming connections to occur, the WR850G supports port triggering.

The WR850G is configured with port triggering for some common applications. You can also configure additional port triggers if needed. Configuring port triggers for an application requires a Port Trigger entry.

To access the screen, click Networking > Port Trigger. Click Apply to save your settings or Cancel to cancel changes.

To add a Port Trigger entry:

1Port Trigger Name: Enter the name of the application. There is a limit of 32 characters for the name. Click to enable if you wish it to become active. Otherwise, you can save the information and enable it at later date. To enable at a later date, select the entry, check enable, then click Add.
