NAT Forwarding  
Modem router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices in the  
LAN use the same public IP address to communicate in the Internet, which protects the  
local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the  
problem that external host cannot initiatively communicate with the specified device  
in the local network.  
With forwarding feature the modem router can penetrate the isolation of NAT and  
allows the external hosts in the Internet to initiatively communicate with the devices in  
the local network, thus to realize some special functions.  
TP-LINK modem router includes four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the  
priority of implementation from high to low is Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, UPNP  
and DMZ.  
This chapter contains the following sections:

NAT Forwarding  
11  1  Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual  
Server  
When you build up a server in the local network and want to share it on the Internet,  
Virtual Server can realize the service and provide it to the Internet users. At the same  
time virtual server can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible  
from the Internet.  
Virtual server can be used for setting up public services in your local network, such as  
HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different service uses different service port.  
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.  
share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my  
friends through the Internet.  
I want to:  
For example, the personal website has been built in my home PC  
(192.168.1.100). I hope that my friends in the Internet can visit  
my website in some way. The PC is connected to the modem  
router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.

external port, internal port and protocol will be automatically  
filled with contents. Enter the PC’s IP address 192.168.1.100  
in the Internal IP field.  
5  Click OK to save the settings.  
Tips:  
1. 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.  
2. If the service you want to use is not in the Service Type, you can enter the  
corresponding parameters manually. You should verify the port number that the  
service needs.  
3. You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in a  
modem router. Please note that the External Port cannot be overlapped.  
Users in the Internet can enter http://WAN IP (in this example:  
http://218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website.  
Tips:  
Done!  
1. WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by  
ISP, it is recommended to apply and register a domain name for the WAN by DDNS,  
go to Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account for more information. Then you can  
use http://domain name to visit the website.  
2. If you have changed the default External Port, you should use http://WAN IP:  
External Port or http://domain name: External Port to visit the website.  
11  2  Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering  
Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports. When  
a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the external  
ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The modem router can record the IP  
address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports, the

modem router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly  
applied to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include MSN  
Gaming Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.  
Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:  
1  Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem  
router.  
2  Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering and click Add.  
3  Click View Existing Applications, and select the desired application. The triggering  
port and protocol, the external port and protocol will be automatically filled with  
contents. Here we take application MSN Gaming Zone as an example.  
4  Click OK to save the settings.  
Tips:  
1. You can add multiple port triggering rules according to your network need.  
2. 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.  
11  3  Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by  
DMZ  
When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in 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

Chapter 11  
NAT Forwarding  
all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special  
applications, like IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ  
host.  
Note:  
DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the  
DMZ host is totally exposed to the Internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. If DMZ is not in use,  
please disable it in time.

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows the 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 in the  
both sides of NAT device can freely communicate with each other realizing the  
seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you want

NAT Forwarding  
to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time  
communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.  
Tips:  
1. UPnP is enabled by default in this modem router.  
2. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.  
3. 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 modem router which has connected  
to the Internet to play online games, UPnP will send request to the modem router to  
open the corresponding ports allowing the following data penetrating the NAT to  
transmit. Therefore, you can play Xbox online games without a hitch.

Chapter 12  
Specify Your Network Settings  
12  1  LAN Settings  
12  1  1  Change the LAN IP Address  
The modem router is preset with a default LAN IP 192.168.1.1, which you can use to log  
in to its web-based 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.  
Follow the steps below to change your IP address.  
1  Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem  
router.  
2  Go to Advanced > Network > LAN Settings page and select IPv4.  
3  Type in a new IP Address appropriate to your needs.  
4  Select the Subnet Mask from the drop-down list. The subnet mask together with  
the IP address identifies the local IP subnet.  
5  Keep IGMP Snooping as enabled by default. IGMP snooping is the process of  
listening to IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) network traffic. The  
function prevents hosts on a local network from receiving traffic for a multicast  
group they have not explicitly joined.  
6  You can configure the modem router’s Second IP and Subnet Mask for LAN interface  
through which you can also access the web management page.  
7  Leave the rest of the default settings as they are.  
8  Click Save to make the settings effective.  
12  1  2  Use the Modem Router as a DHCP Server  
You can configure the modem router to act as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to  
its clients. To use the DHCP server function of the modem router, you must configure all  
computers on the LAN to obtain an IP Address automatically.  
63

Chapter 12  
Specify Your Network Settings  
Follow the steps below to configure DHCP server.  
1  Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem  
router.  
2  Go to Advanced > Network > LAN Settings page and select IPv4.  
3  Select DHCP to enable the DHCP function and select DHCP Server.  
4  Specify the IP Address Pool, the start address and end address must be on the same  
subnet with LAN IP. The modem router will assign addresses within this specified  
range to its clients. It is from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199 by default.  
5  Enter a value for the Address Lease Time. The Address Lease Time is the amount of  
time in which a DHCP client can lease its current dynamic IP address assigned by the  
modem router. After the dynamic IP address expires, the user will be automatically  
assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default is 1440 minutes.  
6  Keep the rest of the settings as default and click Save to make your settings effective.  
Note:  
1. The modem router can be configured to work as a DHCP Relay. A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP  
data between computers that request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the  
device’s interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. If it is enabled, the DHCP requests from local PCs will be  
forwarded to the DHCP server that runs on WAN side.  
2. You can also appoint IP addresses within a specified range to devices of the same type by using Condition Pool  
feature. For example, you can assign IP addresses within the range (192.168.1.50 to192.168.1.80) to Camera  
devices, thus facilitating the network management. Enable DHCP feature and configure the parameters according  
to your actual situation on Advanced > Network > LAN Settings page.  
12  1  3  Reserve LAN IP Addresses  
You can view and add a reserved address for a client. When you specify an IP address  
for a device on the LAN, that device will always receive the same IP address each time  
when it accesses the DHCP server. If there are some devices in the LAN that require  
64

12  3  Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account  
Most ISPs (Internet service providers) 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 any time and you don’t know when it changes. In this case, you might need  
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 domain name, in  
no need of 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 modem router.  
To set up DDNS, please follow the instructions below:  
1  Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem  
router.

12  5  Create Static Routes  
A static route is a pre-determined path that network information must travel to reach  
a specific host or network. Data from one point to another will always follow the same  
path regardless of other considerations. Normal Internet usage does not require this  
setting to be configured.  
Visit multiple networks and multiple servers at the same time.

4  Click Add to add a new static routing entry. Finish the settings  
according to the following explanations:  
Destination IP: 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 the router. In the example,  
the IP address of the company network is the destination IP  
address, so here enters 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 enters 255.255.255.255.  
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 the data. In the  
example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of

Router 2 and then to the Server, so the default gateway should  
be 192.168.1.2.  
Interface: Determined by the port (WAN/LAN) that sends  
out the data packets. In the example, the data is sent to the  
gateway through the LAN port, so LAN should be selected.

12  6  Set up a VPN Connection  
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a private network established across the public network,  
generally via the Internet. However, the private network is a logical network without  
any physical network lines, so it is called Virtual Private Network.  
With the wide application of the Internet, more and more data are needed to be shared  
through the Internet. Connecting the local network to the Internet directly, though can  
allow the data exchange, will cause the private data to be exposed to all the users on  
the Internet.  
The VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology is developed and used to establish  
the private network through the public network, which can provides a secure  
communication to a remote computer or remote network, and guarantee a secured  
data exchange. IPSec is one of the major implementations of VPNs.

12  7  Set Up the IPv6 Tunnel  
The IPv6 Tunnel feature helps you obtain IPv6 resources based on an IPv4 WAN  
connection or vice versa.  
IPv6 Tunnel is a transition mechanism that enables IPv6-only hosts to reach IPv4  
services or vice versa and allows isolated IPv6 hosts and networks to reach each other  
over IPv4-only infrastructure before IPv6 completely supplants IPv4. It is a temporary  
solution for networks that do not support native dual-stack, where both IPv6 and IPv4  
run independently.  
The modem router provides three tunneling mechanisms: 6to4, 6rd and DS-Lite. The  
way to set up 6rd and DS-Lite tunnel are similar.  
12  7  1  Use the Public IPv6 Tunnel Service-6to4  
The 6to4 tunnel is a kind of public service. If there is any 6to4 server in your network,  
you can use this mechanism to access IPv6 service. If your ISP provides you with an  
IPv4-only connection but you want to visit IPv6 websites, you can try to set up a 6to4  
tunnel.

the Internet and the connection type is not Bridge.  
Now you can visit the IPv6 websites with the 6to4 tunnel.  
Done!  
Note:  
Still not being able to access IPv6 resources means that not any 6to4 public server was found in your network. You  
can contact your ISP to sign up for IPv6 connection service.  
12  7  2  Specify the 6rd Tunnel with Parameters Provided by Your ISP  
Specify the 6rd tunnel with the parameters provided by my 6rd  
tunnel service provider.  
I want to:
