Fastest Motorola MG7550 Router Port Forwarding Instructions

A Motorola MG7550 router contains a basic firewall to help protect your home network. A Firewall blocks incoming connections by nature. Sometimes you need to unblock some of these connections so you can run a game or application. This is called opening a port or port forwarding. Port forwarding is literally forwarding a port from the internet to your home network.

In order to open ports in your Motorola MG7550 router, you need to:

1. Go ahead and set up a static IP address on the computer or device that you are forwarding these ports to.
2. Go ahead and log in to your Motorola MG7550 router.
3. In your Motorola MG7550 router, navigate to the Forwarding section.
   • Find the Advanced button located near the top of the screen and click on it.
   • Click the tab that says Advanced Router.
   • Click on Forwarding.
4. Go ahead and create a Forwarding entry.

If the process of forwarding ports in your router seems difficult to you, you are not alone! Do not get discouraged. Let us walk you through the steps for opening a port in the Motorola MG7550 router. Just follow along as we lead you through the process of opening a port in your router.

We think that forwarding a port should be easy. That's why we created Network Utilities. Our software does everything that you need to forward a port.

When you use Network Utilities you get your port forwarded right now!

Step 1

In order to keep the ports in your router open, even after a reboot or disconnect, it is important to set up a static IP address in the device that you are forwarding a port to.

• Recommended - Our free program will setup a static IP address for you.

• Or follow our Static IP Address guides to setup a static IP address.

After setting up a static ip address on your devices you need to login to your router.

Step 2

Log in to your Motorola MG7550 router. To log in you will need to use a web browser since the Motorola MG7550 uses a web interface to access router configurations.

Open up whichever internet browser that you are comfortable with. If you are not sure which one to use, then go ahead and open Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.

To help with confusion, we have simplified this step for you with this link: Login to your MG7550 Router

Once you have opened a web browser, find the address bar which is usually located at the top of the screen. The image below shows an example of this.

Above is an example of what a web browser address bar looks like. Find the address bar in your web browser and type in your router's IP address.

The default IP address for the Motorola MG7550 router is: 192.168.0.1

Once you have entered your router's IP address in the address bar go ahead and click the enter button on your keyboard. You should see a box like the one shown below.

Enter the username and password for the Motorola MG7550 in the corresponding boxes. Important Note: If you have changed them in the past, you need to enter in those values.

• The default Motorola MG7550 Router Username is: admin
• The default Motorola MG7550 Router Password is: motorola

To log in to your Motorola MG7550 router, enter your username and password, and then click the Login button.

Motorola Username and Password Trouble

If the username and password that you typed in did not work, check out our Default Motorola Router Passwords page for other ideas about possible passwords.

If, after trying the above list of passwords you still can't log in, you may need to reset your router. Learn how to do that by reading our How to Reset a Router guide. After resetting the Motorola MG7550 router your username and password are reverted back to factory defaults. Router settings may also change when you reset, so make a note of your current router settings before you reset.

Step 3

After successfully logging in to your Motorola MG7550 router you should see the router's home page on your screen. Find the Forwarding section of your router.

• Click the Advanced button at the top of the screen.
• Click the tab labeled Advanced Router.
• Click Forwarding.

You should now be on a page called Forwarding.

Step 4

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.

Here are the ports to forward for Xbox Live:

• TCP Ports: 3074
• UDP Ports: 3074

If you are looking for the ports for a different application you can find it by either:

• Browsing our List of Games
• Check out our our List of Games by Genre
• See our List of all Applications

To start adding an entry you will first want to click on the Add_IPv4 button.

1. You need to enter the IP address that you are forwarding ports to into the Local IP Address box. This can be either the IP address of your computer or any other IP address on your network that you want ports forwarded to.

2. If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the Local Start Port and the Local End Port boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the Local Start Port box. Then enter the highest number of that range into the Local End Port box.

   • By default the router will accept connections from any address, so you can just leave the External IP Address box as is.

3. Use the Protocol dropdown box to select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding. If your router has the option of Both, then choose that. 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 Both, then you have to create two entries.

4. Make up a name to put in the Description box. The name does not have any effect on the functionality of the forward; it's simply there so you can know why it was created.

5. Make the Enable selection in the Enable/Disable drop-down list.

6. Make sure to click the Save button at the bottom of the page to apply these changes, when you are completely finished.

Test If Your Ports Are Open

Finally, I strongly recommend testing to see if you forwarded the Motorola MG7550 ports correctly. To do this you can use our Network Utilities tool, which includes a free Open Port Checker. Open Port Checker is the only online port checking tool that has Guaranteed Results.
