The incoming ports that need to be forwarded for a QNAP TS-459U-RP device are:

Setting Up a Port Forward for a QNAP TS-459U-RP device
When you use a QNAP TS-459U-RP 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-459U-RP device.
Routers do not generally allow incoming connection requests from the internet. By forwarding a port you can overcome this limitation.
Remember to Do These Things Before You Forward a Port
Make sure that you know these things before forwarding a port:
- Your router's IP address.
- The internal IP address of your NAS.
- A list of TCP and UDP ports that need to be forwarded.
