Port Forwarding Utorrent on the Westell Versalink 327W


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




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 the username is admin, and the password is admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.

Please visit our default username and passsword page, if the username and password shown above did not work for you.




Click the Firewall and Passwords button near the top of the page.




Click the NAT/Gaming button near the right of the page.




Click the Define Custom Service button near the center of the page.




Put a dot into the Port Forwarding Ranges of Ports radio button.

Click the Next button near the bottom 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 Range menu and then click Next.
