Port Forwarding Utorrent on the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station


What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?


 

Before we can forward ports for Utorrent, we need to figure out what ports Utorrent is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up Utorrent.



Click Options in the menu at the top of your screen. In the list that drops down click Preferences.



Click Connections on the left hand side of the Utorrent program. You should now see the menu shown in the screenshot above. Make sure the Enable UPnP box is unchecked. The number in the Port Used for Incoming Connections box contains the port you need to forward. You can change the port number, if you want to. Please enter the port you chose into the box below.

Utorrent's Port for incoming connections

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Do not skip this step!

Please enter the static ip you want to forward to:

10.0.1.




Open up the finder on your Mac.

Click the Applications button near the left of the page.

Click the Utilities button near the right of the page.




Click the AirPort Admin Utility button near the right of the page.




Select Apple Base Station from the Select Base Station list.


Click the Port Mapping button near the top of the page.




Click the Add button near the right of the page.




We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Utorrent requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Mapping Add menu and then click Ok.

Public Port:
Private Address: 10.0.1.
Private Port:

When you're finished, click Update near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!
