Setting Up a Port Forward for a Synology DS411 device
You may need to forward ports in your router when you use a Synology DS411 device. Forwarding ports is used to allow incoming connection requests from the internet to a Synology DS411 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:
- Your router's internal IP address.
- Your NAS's internal IP address.
- Each of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.
Find Your Router's IP Address
You can run our free Router Detector software to locate your router's IP address. It is part of our Network Utilities suite of tools and is free for you to use it.
Otherwise, you can follow our guide Find Your Router IP Address.
