How to open ports in a router

Last updated Jun 23, 2017 594

Today, also known as P2P file-sharing services (eMule, LimeWare, uTorrent) are used by thousands of users, many of whom find themselves to download at speeds much more ‘low, compared to the bandwidth that could benefit.

This is due to poor configuration of the modem router. Open the ” gates ” may be complicated enough for some of you, but today I will try to explain with simple steps. To bypass this problem and have a download speed higher we need a PC wired ” LAN ” and at least one of the programs mentioned above.

1.) Open a browser, what you prefer, go to the address bar ” www. ” and deleted everything. Once this is done you have to write your IP address to access the modem router try first with ” 192.168.1.1 ” or ” 192.168.0.1 ” and press enter. In most cases, will ask for a username and password, you can find also in the user. If you do not have it on hand, try with ” admin ” and ” admin “. Entered the page, move in ” port mapping ” (for modems alice) in other (to name a few netgear, tp-link) could be the services.

2.) Now open the program you need to have the ports unlocked. Revenue in the ” settings ” of the latter and look under ” connections “. Write down the number of ” port ” on a sheet of paper and close the program. If utorrent find a single TCP UDP. Example: ” 23123 ” In the case of eMule we will find a TCP port, and another UDP port. Example: TCP ” 4662 ” UDP ” 4762 ” Important: the following ports cannot be more than two, and in some programs are not marked with TCP UPD but from ” incoming connections ” so pay attention to the number.

3.) Move back between the modem settings router and click ” add port “, enter a name ” that the program ” IP address (yours) is usually automatic, and the ports specified for that type of program. TCPUDP in case there is only one port (see step 2) TCP and UDP later if the ports are two. Once entered, click ” add “. Usually, you need a reset restart modem router and the PC to ensure that changes are made correctly. The final speed will depend on your speed ADSL and from the sources that are available at that time.

Never forget : If you would still have problems, downloaded from google ” simple port forwarding ” can be found for free. Once installed there will be a list with all types of modems with a lot of images, choose what is yours and take a cue from step 1 and 3.
