NETGEAR WGR614 v4 Chapter Advanced Configuration, Configuring Port Forwarding to Local Servers

Chapter 6

Advanced Configuration

This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 v4. These features can be found under the Advanced heading in the Main Menu of the browser interface.

Configuring Port Forwarding to Local Servers

Although the router causes your entire local network to appear as a single machine to the Internet, you can make a local server (for example, a web server or game server) visible and available to the Internet. This is done using the Port Forwarding menu. From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Port Forwarding to view the port forwarding menu, shown below.
