Configure your Computer to Have a Static IP Address

Port forwarding the Dlink DI-724U 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.

Next, enter the ports you are forwarding in the TCP Ports to Open and again in the UDP Ports to Open. You can either enter the ports as a list, such as 22,29,35, or a range, like, 500-600, or even a combination of the two, 22,56,500-600.

Set the Firewall Rule to Allow All.

For the Schedule, you should choose Always.

Once you have followed all these steps, click the green Apply checkmark.
