Setting up Port Forwarding
Your G54 firewall may be set up to block all device or application connections from the Internet to the devices on your Wi-Fi home network. Port Forwarding allows you to open specific ports or IP addresses on the Internet behind the firewall on your home or small business network. It also allows for remote access to your wireless computer or other client devices. The inbound traffic from the Internet, such as specific websites or online gaming applications, is forwarded to the designated open ports that you set up.
Note: ARRIS recommends that you manually configure the TCP/IP settings listed below on the client device you are setting up for remote access. Otherwise, remote access to your client device will not be available on the Internet. IP address Subnet mask Default gateway DNS address (at least one) To set up Port Forwarding: 1.
