Port Forwarding for the Huawei SmartAX MT882


What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?




 

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:

192.168.1.




Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.1.1.




You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default both the username and password are admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.




Click the Basic link near the left hand side of the page.

Click the NAT link.


Put a dot into the Redirect radio button.


Click the New button near the middle of the page.




Select the protocol type using the Protocol radio button. If you need both TCP and UDP, create a duplicate configuration. The first configuration would have TCP selected, while the second one would have UDP selected. Enter the ip address to forward these ports to into the Local Address box. If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on your computer, you should enter your computer's ip address into that box. Leave Global Address From and Global Address To set to 0.0.0.0. If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the Local Port and Destination Port From and the Destination Port To boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the Local Port and Destination Port From box. Then enter the highest number of that range into the Destination Port To box. When you are finished, click the Submit button.


Click the Tools link near the left hand side of the page.

Click the Save & Reboot link. Put a dot into the Save radio button.

Click the Submit button near the bottom of the page.

Put a dot into the Reboot radio button.

Click the Submit button near the bottom of the page.

And that is it! You are done!
