Chapter 12

NAT Forwarding

The router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes devices on the LAN use

the same public IP address to communicate with devices on the internet, which protects

the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about

the problem that an external host cannot initiatively communicate with a specified

device on the local network.

With the forwarding feature the router can penetrate the isolation of NAT and allows

devices on the internet to initiatively communicate with devices on the local network,

thus realizing some special functions.

The TP-Link router supports four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the

priority of implementation from high to low is Port Forwarding, Port Triggering, UPNP

and DMZ.

It contains the following sections:

• Share Local Resources on the Internet by Port Forwarding

• Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

• Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ

• Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP

Chapter 12 NAT Forwarding

12. 1. Share Local Resources on the Internet by Port

Forwarding

When you build up a server on the local network and want to share it on the internet,

Port Forwarding can realize the service and provide it to internet users. At the same

time Port Forwarding can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible

from the internet.

Port Forwarding can be used for setting up public services on your local network,

such as HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different services use different

service ports. Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP

service and port 110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the

configuration.

I want to:

Share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my friends through the internet.

For example, the personal website has been built on my home PC (192.168.0.100). I hope

that my friends on the internet can visit my website in some way. The PC is connected

to the router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.

INTERNET

WAN: 218.18.232.154LANHome

How can I do that?

1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.0.100.

2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

3. Go to Advanced NAT Forwarding Port Forwarding > > .

Tips:

• It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are not clear about which port and

protocol to use.

• If the service you want to use is not in the common services list, you can enter the corresponding parameters

manually. You should verify the port number that the service needs.

• You can add multiple port forwarding rules if you want to provide several services in a router. Please note that the

External Port should not be overlapped.

Done!

Users on the internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example: http:// 218.18.232.154)

to visit your personal website.

Chapter 12 NAT Forwarding

Tips:

• The WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by the ISP, it is recommended

• If you have changed the default External Port http:// WAN IP: External Port http:// domain name: , you should use or

External Port to visit the website.

12. 2. Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

Port Triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports.

When a host on the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the

external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The router can record the

IP address of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external ports, the

router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port Triggering is mainly applied to

online games, VoIPs, video players and common applications including MSN Gaming

Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.

Follow the steps below to configure the Port Triggering rules:

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

2. Go to Advanced NAT Forwarding Port Triggering> > and click .

3. Click VIEW COMMON SERVICES, and select the desired application. The Triggering

Port, Triggering Protocol External Port and will be automatically filled in. The following

picture takes application as an example.MSN Gaming Zone

Chapter 12 NAT Forwarding

4. Click .SAVE

Tips:

• You can add multiple port triggering rules according to your network need.

• The triggering ports can not be overlapped.

• If the application you need is not listed in the Existing Applications list, please enter the parameters manually. You

should verify the external ports the application uses first and enter them into External Port field according to the

format the page displays.

12. 3. Make Applications Free from Port Restriction

by DMZ

When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host on the local network, it is totally

exposed to the internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication

between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with

all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special

applications, such as IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ

host.

Note:

When DMZ is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazards. If

DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.

I want to:

Make the home PC join the internet online game without port restriction.

For example, due to some port restriction, when playing the online games, you can log

in normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC

as a DMZ host with all ports open.

Chapter 12 NAT Forwarding

How can I do that?

1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.0.100.

2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

3. Go to Advanced NAT Forwarding DMZ > > and tick to enable DMZ.

4. Click VIEW CONNECTED DEVICES and select your PC. The Device IP

Address will be automatically filled in. Or enter the PC’s IP address 192.168.0.100

manually in the DMZ Host IP Address field.

5. Click .SAVE

Done!

The configuration is completed. You’ve set your PC to a DMZ host and now you can

make a team to game with other players.

12. 4. Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by

UPnP

The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows applications or host devices

to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the

corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices on the

local network and the internet can freely communicate with each other thus realizing

the seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you

want to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time

communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.

Tips:

• UPnP is enabled by default in this router.

• Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.

• UPnP feature needs the support of operating system (e.g. Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8, etc. Some of

operating system need to install the UPnP components).

For example, when you connect your Xbox to the router which has connected to

the internet to play online games, UPnP will send request to the router to open the

Chapter 12 NAT Forwarding

corresponding ports allowing the following data penetrating the NAT to transmit.

Therefore, you can play Xbox online games without a hitch.

INTERNET

If necessary, you can follow the steps to change the status of UPnP.

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > UPnP and toggle on or off according to your

needs.

Chapter 13

VPN Server&Client

The router offers several ways to set up VPN connections:

VPN Server allows remote devices to access your home network in a secured way

through the internet. The router supports three types of VPN Server:

OpenVPN is somewhat complex but with higher security and more stability, suitable for

restricted environments such as campus network and company intranet.

PPTP VPN is easy to use with the built-in VPN software of computers and mobile

devices, but it is vulnerable and may be blocked by some ISPs.

L2TP/IPSec VPN is more secure but slower than PPTP VPN, and may have trouble

getting around firewalls.

VPN Client allows devices in your home network to access remote VPN servers,

without the need to install VPN software on each device.

It contains the following sections:

• Change the LAN Settings

• Configure to Support IPTV Service

• Specify DHCP Server Settings

• Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account

• Create Static Routes

Chapter 14 Customize Your Network Settings

14. 1. Change the LAN Settings

The router is preset with a default LAN IP 192.168.0.1, which you can use to log in to

its web management page. The LAN IP address together with the Subnet Mask also

defines the subnet that the connected devices are on. If the IP address conflicts with

another device on your local network or your network requires a specific IP subnet, you

can change it.

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

2. Go to Advanced Network LAN > > .

3. Type in a new IP Address appropriate to your needs. And leave the Subnet Mask as

the default settings.

4. Click . SAVE

Note: If you have set the Port Forwarding, DMZ or DHCP address reservation, and the new LAN IP address is not in the

same subnet with the old one, then you should reconfigure these features.

14. 2. Configure to Support IPTV Service

I want to:

Configure IPTV setup to enable Internet/IPTV/Phone service provided by my internet

service provider (ISP).

How can I do that?

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

2. Go to Advanced Network IPTV/VLAN > > .

3. If your ISP provides the networking service based on IGMP technology, e.g., British

Telecom(BT) and Talk Talk in UK:

1 ) Tick the IGMP Proxy and IGMP Snooping checkbox, then select the IGMP Version,

either V2 or V3, as required by your ISP.

Chapter 14 Customize Your Network Settings

2 ) Click .SAVE

3 ) After configuring IGMP proxy, IPTV can work behind your router now. You can

connect your set-top box to any of the router’s Ethernet port.

If IGMP is not the technology your ISP applies to provide IPTV service:

1 ) Tick Enable IPTV/VLAN.

2 ) Select the appropriate according to your ISP.Mode

• Select if your ISP is not listed and no other parameters are required.Bridge

• Select if your ISP is not listed but provides necessary parameters.Custom

5 ) Connect the set-top box to the corresponding LAN port which is predetermined

or you have specified in Step 3.

Done!

Your IPTV setup is done now! You may need to configure your set-top box before

enjoying your TV.

Chapter 14 Customize Your Network Settings

14. 3. Specify DHCP Server Settings

By default, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server is enabled and

the router acts as a DHCP server; it dynamically assigns TCP/IP parameters to client

devices from the IP Address Pool. You can change the settings of the DHCP Server if

necessary, and you can reserve LAN IP addresses for specified client devices.

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

2. Go to Advanced Network DHCP Server > > .

• To specify the IP address that the router assigns:

1. Tick the checkbox.Enable

2. Enter the starting and ending IP addresses in the IP Address Pool.

3. Enter other parameters if the ISP offers. The Default Gateway is automatically filled in

and is the same as the LAN IP address of the router.

4. Click .SAVE

• To reserve an IP address for a specified client device:

1. Click in the Add Address Reservation section.

Chapter 14 Customize Your Network Settings

2. Click VIEW CONNECTED DEVICES and select the you device you want to reserve an

IP for. Then the MAC Address will be automatically filled in. Or enter the MAC address

of the client device manually.

3. Enter the IP address to reserve for the client device.

4. Click . SAVE

14. 4. Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account

Most ISPs assign a dynamic IP address to the router and you can use this IP address

to access your router remotely. However, the IP address can change from time to time

and you don’t know when it changes. In this case, you might apply the DDNS (Dynamic

Domain Name Server) feature on the router to allow you and your friends to access your

router and local servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) using a domain name without checking and

remembering the IP address.

Note: DDNS does not work if the ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.1.x) to the router.

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

the router.

2. Go to Advanced Network Dynamic DNS> > .

3. Select the DDNS Service Provider: TP-Link, NO-IP or DynDNS. It is recommended

to select TP-Link so that you can enjoy TP-Link’s superior DDNS service. Otherwise,

please select NO-IP or DynDNS. If you don’t have a DDNS account, you have to

Note: To enjoy TP-Link’s DDNS service, you have to log in with a TP-Link ID. If you have not logged in with one, click

4. Click Register in the if you have selected TP-Link, and enter the Domain Name List

Domain Name as needed.

Chapter 14 Customize Your Network Settings

If you have selected NO-IP or DynDNS, enter the username, password and domain

name of your account.

5. Click LOGIN AND SAVE.

Tips: If you want to use a new DDNS account, please click first, and then log in with a new account.Logout

14. 5. Create Static Routes

Static routing is a form of routing that is configured manually by a network administrator

or a user by adding entries into a routing table. The manually-configured routing

information guides the router in forwarding data packets to the specific destination.

Chapter 14 Customize Your Network Settings

I want to:

Visit multiple networks and servers at the same time.

For example, in a small office, my PC can surf the internet through Router A, but I also

want to visit my company’s network. Now I have a switch and Router B. I connect the

devices as shown in the following figure so that the physical connection between my

PC and my company’s server is established. To surf the internet and visit my company’s

network at the same time, I need to configure the static routing.

Company’s server

Router B

Router A

Switch

LAN: 192.168.0.1

192.168.0.100

LAN: 192.168.0.2

WAN: 172.30.30.100

172.30.30.1

How can I do that?

1. Change the routers’ LAN IP addresses to two different IP addresses on the same

subnet. Disable Router B’s DHCP function.

2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for

Router A.

3. Go to Advanced Network Routing> > .

4. Click and finish the settings according to the following explanations:Add

Chapter 14 Customize Your Network Settings

Network Destination: The destination IP address that you want to assign to a static

route. This IP address cannot be on the same subnet with the WAN IP or LAN IP of

Router A. In the example, the IP address of the company network is the destination

IP address, so here enter 172.30.30.1.

Subnet Mask: Determines the destination network with the destination IP address.

If the destination is a single IP address, enter 255.255.255.255; otherwise, enter

the subnet mask of the corresponding network IP. In the example, the destination

network is a single IP, so here enter 255.255.255.255.

Default Gateway: The IP address of the gateway device to which the data packets

will be sent. This IP address must be on the same subnet with the router’s IP which

sends out data. In the example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of

Router B and then to the Server, so the default gateway should be 192.168.0.2.

Interface: Determined by the port (WAN/LAN) that sends out data packets. In the

example, the data are sent to the gateway through the LAN port of Router A, so LAN/

WLAN should be selected.

Description: Enter a description for this static routing entry.

5. Click .SAVE

6. Check the Routing Table below. If you can find the entry you’ve set, the static routing

is set successfully.

Done!

Open a web browser on your PC. Enter the company server’s IP address to visit the

company network.
