Forward Ports for a Synology RS3412xs device
You might need to forward some ports in your router when you use a Synology RS3412xs device. By forwarding ports you allow connection requests coming from the internet to be directed to a Synology RS3412xs device.
Routers are not designed to allow incoming network requests. By forwarding a port you can overcome this limitation.
Before Forwarding a Port
Before you can forward a port you need to know the following things:
- The internal IP address of your router.
- The IP address of your NAS.
- The list of the TCP and UDP ports that you need to forward.

We have free Router Detector software to help you find your router's IP address. It's a part of the Network Utilities suite of tools and it's completely free to use.
If you do not want to run the software, you can follow our Find Your Router IP Address guide.
