How can you open up ports on your modem? ?

Question

do you have to call to get them to do it remotely?

Answer 1

No, although tech support might be able to help you. Each router has different firmware through which you can open up ports...the method of doing this is different all throughout. If you like, you can try posting another question that specifies what kind of router you have and you may get the help here. You can also google your router name and "port forwarding" for help.

To get to your router firmware, usually you only have to enter "192.168.1.1" in your internet browsers address bar and something will come up asking for a username and password...default user names and passwords also depend on what router brand you have.

Answer 2

its simple, just log into your router, by default type in ipconfig /all in the command prompt and you will see your dns address and type that in into your browser, use portforward.com for a more thorough explanation
