Configure your Computer to Have a Static IP Address

Port forwarding the A-Link RR84AP to your computer can be more reliable if you first configure a static IP address on your computer. We have instructions to setup a static IP address for Windows 7, Windows 8, and a variety of other devices on our Static IP Address Settings page.

Please note that while setting up a static IP address on your computer is optional, it is still a very good idea to go ahead and do it. In the long run it will make your port forward much more reliable.

You should now be on this page. In the first box labeled Enable place a check.

Below that, in the box marked Name enter the name of the program. This is not important what you enter here, just something to help you remember why you are forwarding these ports.

Next, is the IP Address. Enter the IP Address you are forwarding these ports to in this box. If you are forwarding these ports to run a program for your computer, then make sure you enter your computer's IP Address in this box.

In the TCP Port and UDP Port enter the ports that you are forwarding. You can either enter them as a list, a range, or even a combination of both.

When you are finished, click the Add button and you are done.
