Set Up a Port Forward for a QNAP TS-410U device

You may need to forward ports in your router when you use a QNAP TS-410U device. Forwarding ports is used to allow incoming connection requests from the internet to a QNAP TS-410U device.

Routers generally do not allow incoming connection requests from the internet. A port forward can overcome this limitation.

Before Forwarding a Port

Make sure that you know these things before forwarding a port:

Your router's internal IP address.
Your NAS's IP address.
The TCP and UDP ports that need to be forwarded.

Find the IP Address of Your Router

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.

We have a guide you can follow Find Your Router IP Address if you don't want to run the software.

How To Forward Ports for a QNAP TS-410U device

You can use our Network Utilities software to automatically forward ports for you. Since Network Utilities allows you to both forward and un-forward ports easily you can keep your network security maximized, and then forward ports only when you need them.

Another option is to go through the process of forwarding ports one step at a time. The process for forwarding a port is:

Start by logging in to your router.
Locate your routers port forwarding section.
Put the IP address of your NAS in the proper box in your router.
Put the TCP and UDP ports for a QNAP TS-410U device in the corresponding boxes in your router.

Some routers need to be rebooted in order for the changes to be saved.
