Setting Up a Port Forward for a QNAP TS-659 Pro+ device
When you use a QNAP TS-659 Pro+ 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-659 Pro+ device.
By default routers do not allow incoming network requests. A port forward can overcome this limitation.
Before Forwarding a Port Checkoff This To Do List
Before you can forward a port you need to know the following things:
- The IP address of your router.
- The IP address of your NAS.
- A list of TCP and UDP ports that need to be forwarded.
Locate Your Router's IP Address
The easiest way to locate your router's IP address is to run our free Router Detector utility. Our Router Detector tool is free to use and is part of our Network Utilities software.
We have a guide you can follow Find Your Router IP Address if you don't want to run the software.
