Why Belkin Router Port Forwarding Stops Working

Belkin Router Port Forwarding not Working -

Belkin Port forwarding allows external devices to pass through your router's firewall for services such as a web server (Port 80), FTP server (Port 21), gaming or any other designated applications. This article will show you how to setup port forwarding on a Belkin router.

Before proceeding, make sure that you have the following:

• The IP Address of the computer or device to have the port forwarded to.
• The port numbers to be used and whether they are TCP or UDP ports.
• The router connected to the computer using an Ethernet cable.

To enable Belkin port forwarding, follow these steps:-

Step 1: Open your web browser and enter router’s IP address (192.168.0.1 by default) in the address bar. Enter username your router password (the default password is blank).

Step 2: Navigate to Firewall > Virtual Servers.

Step 3: Check Enable.

• In the Description column, enter a description of your network device (e.g. INSTEON Camera 1)
• In “Inbound port” enter camera’s port number.
• Next, choose the “Type” you want to use. (For INSTEON cameras we will use TCP or Both)
• Enter the Camera’s IP address in “Private IP Address”
• In “Private port” enter camera’s port number.
• Repeat step 5 for any more ports you want to forward.
• Click on “Apply Changes”.
