Setting Up a Port Forward for a D-Link DCS-920
When you use a D-Link DCS-920 you may need to forward ports in your router. By forwarding ports you allow connection requests coming from the internet to be directed to a D-Link DCS-920.
Routers generally do not allow incoming connection requests from the internet. By forwarding a port you can overcome this limitation.
Before You Forward a Port
Before you can forward a port you need to know the following things:
- Your router's IP address.
- Your camera's IP address.
- The list of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.
Find Your Router's IP Address
To find your router's IP address the easy way you can use our free Router Detector software. It is part of our Network Utilities suite of tools and is free for you to use it.
If you do not want to run the software, you can follow our Find Your Router IP Address guide.
