Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router

Port Triggering Port Triggering is used for special Internet applications whose outgoing ports differ from the incoming ports. For this feature, the Router will watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The Router will remember the IP address of the computer that sends a transmission requesting data, so that when the requested data returns through the Router, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules. Click the Port Triggering button to set up triggered ports, and follow these instructions:

1. Enter
