Arris TG3492LG-YL Router Port Forwarding Instructions

Your TG3492LG-YL router helps to protect your network by blocking incoming internet connections. This is an important feature that helps you to control which applications have access to your network. Sometimes you want to allow network access to a specific application in order to play a game, connect a device, or use an app. The Arris TG3492LG-YL can unblock certain incoming connections through port forwarding or by opening a port. You can open ports in your TG3492LG-YL by assigning specific ports to an IP address. Forwarding these ports directs incoming data to a specific device or application.

You need to follow the steps below to open ports in your Arris TG3492LG-YL router:

1. On the computer or device that you are forwarding ports to, you will need to set up a static IP address.

Open your favorite web browser. If you don't have a favorite or are not sure what this means, open up Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. If you are already in a browser window, go ahead and open up a new tab.

Forwarding ports in your router creates a path that allows data to get through your network firewall, and this could lead to malicious traffic on your network. So make sure that you must forward a port before actually doing so. However, the risk is very low, so do not let this warning stop you from making this change if you need to.

2. Put a check in the box marked Inbound.

3. Put a check in the box named Enabled.

5. In the Protocol dropdown box, select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding. Choose Both if your router has that option. Otherwise, choose either TCP or UDP as needed. If you need to forward a port for both TCP and UDP and your router does not have the Both option, then you need to create two entries.

6. Make the All selection in the Source IP Address drop-down list.

7. Choose Single from the Destination IP Address drop-down box.

8. In the IPv6 Address box, enter the IP address that you want ports forwarded to. This may be the IP address of your computer or the IP address of another device on your network that you want to forward ports to.

9. Go ahead and enter the port number into the Source Port Range Start and the Source Port Range End boxes, to forward a single port. To forward a range of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the Source Port Range Start box and then enter the highest number of that range into the Source Port Range End box.

10. In the Destination Port Range box, enter the same values that you entered into the Source Port Range box.

11. To finish creating the entry, click on the button that says Add Rule.
