Your Arris TG1682G router features a firewall that secures your network by preventing intruder access to your network and possible breach of data. However, you may need to open your network if you want to run specific programs or games effectively. To do this, you need to forward some ports in your router. We give you a detailed guide on how to set up Arris TG1682G port forwarding and accomplish your online tasks.
Create a Port Forwarding Entry
On the port forwarding section of your Arris TG1682G router, create a port forwarding entry as follows:
- Click on the ADD SERVICE tab
- On the Common Service dropdown, select Other
- Select the protocol, whether TCP, UDP, or Both, using the Service Type dropdown.
- Input the IP address you are forwarding the ports to in the Server IPv4 Address box but leave the Server IPv6 Address boxes blank.
- Enter the highest and lowest port numbers in the Start Port and End Port boxes, respectively, if forwarding a range of ports and the same port number in both boxes for single port forwarding.
- Click the Save button and test your ports to see if they are open.
