How to forward ports on a router

What is port forwarding? This is a connection between a port on the external interface of the DIR-300 router and a device port on the local network. The idea is to give access to the device from the Internet using a specific open port router.

In practice it might look like this. There is a need to provide access to remote control slave. desktop PC connected to the Internet via the DIR-300 router (or another reason). To do this, a rule is created to redirect the WAN port to the port of the home PC.

To do this, go to the Advanced section, then to the Port Forwarding setting.
How to set up:




• Select a name for the rule (to avoid confusion, it is better to give meaningful names).
• Select specific number public port or specify a range of ports). Public is an external port for the Internet. To register only one specific number, indicate it in the form of a starting and ending number.
• In the test example, we opened port 3389.
• Enter the IP address of the PC (server) to which the ports are forwarded. It is worth reserving this IP address for a specific computer in the DHCP reservation settings on the router, then it will not change over time. If you do not want to make backups in the router, you can enter the IP address manually in the settings of the PC’s network card.
• The test example specified the internal gray IP address 192.168.1.100.
• Register the port for receiving incoming connections on a PC on the local network.
• For the test, we specified the default port 3389.

• Check the box for Wireless Enhance Mode to operate IPTV over Wi-Fi.
• We save with the “Save Settings” button (at the top of the page).

Perhaps the interface in your model will differ slightly from the picture shown.




If the specified menu items are not in the router, it may need to be flashed new firmware supporting IGMP proxy or Multicast Routing. Also note that the interface shown here is English, yours may be Russian.

How to turn on the router as a repeater

In order for the DIR-300 to work as a repeater, it needs to be flashed with the DD-WRT program.

• Version A1 is flashed via TFTP (so it is more difficult to make a repeater out of it).
• Version B1 can be flashed via the web interface.

Let's start setting up the repeater:

• We change the DIR-300 subnet to another one so that it differs from the main source point (for example, a laptop). If the laptop has 192.168.1.1, then here you need to make 192.168.2.1.
• DHCP can be enabled; to do this, select the IP of the main point (192.168.1.1) as a gateway.
• In point WAN settings go to Automatic-configuration DHCP and activate STP. Save.



Wi-Fi setup:

• In Wireless, select Mode – Repeater (or Repeater Bridge, if you have a different firmware version).
• The other remaining settings must match the source parameters (SSID, channel, connection type).
