Each router will have its own specific approach to implementing Halo 5 port forwarding. You should have full details in your user manual. If you’ve lost your user manual, you should be able to get a new one on the internet. Alternatively, you can just try the following general approach and figure out how it works on your router.
- Log in to your router. Usually, you do this by opening a web browser and then either searching for your router’s IP address or entering a specific URL into the address bar (e.g. http://router.asus.com). Enter your login details.
- Find the port forwarding settings. If you don’t see them look for either advanced settings or WAN settings. Fill in the IP addresses and the port details.
- You will probably need to do this in two rounds, once for the TCP protocol and once for the UDP protocol. Remember that the port numbers are different for each protocol. If your router asks you to enter global ranges and a base host, enter the details in the following format:
Low range 53 High range 53 Base host 53
- For completeness, if you were entering a range of ports, the base host would be the same as the low range.
- Reboot your router.
