Step 3: Router Port Forwarding Settings
By default, the security features on many routers prevent access to the devices on
your home/business network from the Internet. To open a port, you need to
enable "port forwarding" on your router. Router administration screens can
vary, but typically, you would do the following to open a port:
1. Return to the Router Interface page.
NOTE: For more information on how to navigate your specific router please
check the routers User manual.
2. Navigate to the Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering. The
Port Forwarding page is displayed.

NOTE: This is the section in the router where we will specify which local IP
address belongs to which external port number. Make sure that "Port
forwarding" is enabled for each IP address.
