Log into your router by typing the Default Gateway in Internet
Explorer. In our example this is http://192.168.1.1 another common
gateway is http://10.1.1.1
For some Linksys modem/routers you will find Port Forwarding
options in “Applications & Gaming” under Port Range Forward
Next, forward the Web Service Port (default port 80) to the IP Address found in step 3.
In Port Range create an entry called DVR1. Set Start and End to 80 and set the IP Address
to the same address you found in step 3. Ensure Enable is checked and then save settings

can be found under Advanced > Virtual

Set Port Start, End, Map to 80. Save
the rule and apply it to the IP Address of the
