Forwarding Ports for a QNAP TS-209 Pro II device
When you use a QNAP TS-209 Pro II device you may need to forward ports in your router. A port forward allows incoming connection requests from the internet to go straight to a QNAP TS-209 Pro II device.
Routers are not designed to allow incoming network requests. By forwarding a port you can overcome this limitation.
Remember to Do These Things Before You Forward a Port
Before you can forward a port you need to know the following things:
- The internal IP address of your router.
- Your NAS's IP address.
- Each of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.
