Your Telrad Xplornet WLTCS-106 router has a firewall to help protect your local network from unwanted Internet access. Firewalls protect your home network by blocking all incoming and outgoing connections that are not deemed safe. When playing an online game or using an online program some of the needed connections for that application may be blocked. In order to unblock these connections you need to create a port forward.
In this guide we will walk you through each of the following steps:
- How to make a static IP address on the computer of device you plan on forwarding these ports to.
- How to login to the Telrad Xplornet WLTCS-106 router.
- How to navigate to the port forwarding section of the router interface.
- How to create a port forward entry on your Telrad Xplornet WLTCS-106 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
It is important to setup a static ip address in the device that you are forwarding a port to. This ensures that your ports will remain open even after your device reboots.
- Recommended - Our free Static IP Setter will set up a static IP address for you.
- Another way to get a permanent IP address is to set up a DHCP reservation.
- Or, manually create a static ip address with our Static IP Guides.
This step is important because you want a permanent IP address in your device. If you do not set up a permanent IP address in your device, then when you device reboots it may get a new IP address.
Use a VPN Instead
Have you considered using a VPN instead of forwarding a port? For most users, a VPN is a much simpler and more secure choice than forwarding a port.
We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes forwarding a port no longer necessary for most applications. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.
Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.
Step 2
It is now time to login to the Telrad Xplornet WLTCS-106 router interface. Your router uses a web interface which means you need to open the router settings using a web browser. It does not matter which browser you decide to use, we recommend using one you are familiar with. Some of the more common browsers are Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox.
Open up the web browser of your choice and find the address bar. Your address bar is typically going to be at the top of the page like this:
Above is an example of what a web browser address bar looks like. Find the address bar in your router and type in your router's IP address.
The default Telrad WLTCS-106 IP Address is: 192.168.209.1
Once you have entered the router's IP address into the address bar, click the Enter key on your keyboard. If you entered the correct IP address you are given a login window like this:
To go to your router setup pages you need to provide authorization. Go ahead and enter the router's username and password then press the LOGIN button.
- The Default Telrad WLTCS-106 Router Username is: admin
- The Default Telrad WLTCS-106 Router Password is: password
NOTE: The router username and password are NOT the same thing as the WiFi username(SSID) and password.
Having Trouble?
Are you having trouble logging in? If you are, here are a few things you can try:
- Try other Telrad usernames and passwords. If you have a different firmware version then you may also have a different username and password. Here is our list of Default Telrad Router Passwords.
- If that did not work, you must of changed the username and/or password. You are the best person to try and guess what you changed the password to. Go ahead and try to figure out what you changed it to. Need help? Use our Find Password App to help you out. This application will guess thousands of different combinations for you and let you know when it has figured it out. Learn more about this handy application on our Router Password Cracker page.
- Finally, if that did not work, it might be time to consider a factory reset. This should be always be the LAST RESORT. Do not do this unless you have exhausted your other troubleshooting options. A factory reset erases all settings you have changed in the past. If you need to perform a factory reset check out this How to Reset a Router guide for the basics of resetting a router.
Step 3
In this third step we will show you how to find the port forwarding section of your Telrad Xplornet WLTCS-106 router. To do this we begin on the Mobile Network Status page:
On this page there are seven different choices to pick from along the bottom of the page. Pick the third one from the left that looks like three computers. This is the Network option.
You should now see a page like the one above. Click the link in the left sidebar labeled Port Management.
You should now be on the correct page. Just make sure the Port Forwarding option is chosen.
Step 4
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

From the Protocol box select the protocol for the ports that you want to forward.
If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of the range into the WAN Port Begin and LAN Port Begin boxes. Then enter the highest number of the range into the WAN Port End and LAN Port End boxes. If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the WAN Port Begin, WAN Port End, LAN Port Begin and LAN Port End boxes.
Enter the IP address to forward these ports to into the LAN IP box. If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on a device other than your computer then you can enter your device's IP address into that box.
In the Enable checkbox put a checkmark.
When you are finished, be sure to click the black Apply button to save your changes.
Are Your Ports Forwarded?
You have done everything we recommended in order to open your ports but how do you really know the ports opened correctly. We recommend using our FREE Open Port Checker. It is a great way to check and see if you opened the port or not. There are a lot of port checkers on the Internet but ours is guaranteed to be accurate.
