Forward Ports for a Synology DS112j device
You may need to forward ports in your router when you use a Synology DS112j device. The purpose of forwarding ports is to make a direct connection from the internet to a Synology DS112j device.
By default routers do not allow incoming network requests. By forwarding a port you can overcome this limitation.
Remember to Do These Things Before You Forward a Port
You need to know the following things before you can forward a port:
- The internal IP address of your router.
- The internal IP address of your NAS.
- The list of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.
