Forward Ports for WiRES-X
You may need to forward ports in your router when you use WiRES-X. The purpose of forwarding ports is to make a direct connection from the internet to WiRES-X.
Routers generally do not allow incoming connection requests from the internet. By forwarding ports you can work around this limitation.
Remember to Do These Things Before You Forward a Port
You need to know the following things before you can forward a port:
- The internal IP address of your router.
- The internal IP address of your computer.
- Each of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.
