Simple Telekom Speedport W 724V Router Port Forwarding Guide

Your Speedport W 724V 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 Telekom Speedport W 724V can unblock certain incoming connections through port forwarding or by opening a port. You can open ports in your Speedport W 724V by assigning specific ports to an IP address. Forwarding these ports directs incoming data to a specific device or application.

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 Telekom Speedport W 724V router.
3. Make your way to the Port Forwarding section of the Telekom Speedport W 724V router.
   • Click the Internet tab, which is at the top of the screen.
   • Click on the Port activation link at the left of the screen.
   • Expand the Port diversions and port forwarding section.

Step 1 - Setup A Static IP Address

• 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 - Login To Your Telekom Router

The Telekom Speedport W 724V router uses a web interface to display router settings. In order to login to the Telekom Speedport W 724V router you need to use a web browser.

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.

We have simplified this step for you with this link: Login to your Speedport W 724V Router

Find the address bar in your browser window. This is usually found at the top of the page, like in the image below.

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 Telekom Speedport W 724V router's default IP address is: 192.168.1.1

Once you have finished entering your router's IP address into the address bar, click the enter button on your keyboard. A box similar to the one below should appear.

Enter the username and password for your Telekom Speedport W 724V router. Note: If you have changed these numbers in the past, you will need to enter in the those values.

• The default Telekom Speedport W 724V Router Username is: blank
• The default Telekom Speedport W 724V Router Password is: printed on router

Once you have entered your username and password, remember to click the Log in button to login to your Telekom Speedport W 724V router.

Telekom Username and Password Trouble

If the username and password that you typed in did not work, check out our Default Telekom 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 Telekom Speedport W 724V 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 - Find The Port Forwarding Section

You should be on the home page of your Telekom Speedport W 724V router once you have successfully logged in. Find the Port Forwarding section of your router.

• Find the Internet tab at the top of the screen and click it.
• Find the Port activation link at the left of the screen and click on it.

You should now be on a page called Settings for activating the port.

Step 4 - Create A Port Forward Entry

Opening a port to a specific device may solve problems that you are having on your network. Make sure that it is necessary though, before opening a port, because you are effectively creating a pinhole in the firewall portion of your router that could lead to malicious traffic on your network. The risk is exceedingly low, though, so don't let this warning stop you from making this change if you need it.

4. Enter the exact same values that you put in the left public port box, into the client port box.

5. Enter the IP address that you are forwarding ports to into the device box. It is possible to forward a port to the IP address of your computer or to the IP address of a specific device on your internal network.
