You must be connected to the Dash to modify its settings. To port forward on the Dash:
- Open any browser and type 192.168.1.1 into the URL bar and hit enter. For reference, this default IP address is printed on the sticker on the router.
- Log in using the default Administrator Username and password listed on the sticker on the right side of the Dash. You will be prompted to create a new Administrative password. You can choose to do so, or select skip to keep it as the default.
- From the Dash homepage, click on the 3 horizontal lines in the upper-right corner to access the menu.
- Under Network Settings, select “Home Networking.”
- Click on the tab titled “Static DHCP.”
- Click on the + next to Static DHCP Configuration.
- Toggle the configuration to “Active.”
- Under Select Device Info, select the dropdown and choose the device you wish to port forward. (The rest of the information will auto-populate.)
- Take note of the IP address, you will need it later. Click “OK.”
- Click on the 3 horizontal lines in the upper right corner to access the menu.
- Under Network Setting, select NAT.
- Click on the + to Add New Rule.
- Toggle to activate the rule.
- Name the rule.
- Leave "Obtain WAN IP Automatically" checked.
- Under “Start Port,” enter the port to be forwarded or the first in the range. (Typically provided by the game or device requiring the port forwarding rule.)
- “End Port” should be the end of the range.
- “Translation Start and End Port” will be the same as “Start and End Port.”
- “Server IP Address” will be the same address as the DHCP reservation.
- Protocol information will also be provided by the game or device requiring the port forwarding rule (TCP, UDP or both).
- Click “OK.” (Please note: If a game is asking to forward multiple ports (i.e. 88, 443, and 2000-2500) that would be three separate rules.)
