How to Configure the Dovado Router for Port Forwarding

The Dovado UMR_Broadband routers come with a simple firewall that offers essential safety by protecting your home network from illegal access from the internet. You may be required to open a specific port for particular games and programs since this firewall blocks inbound connections. You may use the port forwarding technique to do this. Please refer to the following setup instructions for your Dovado router to set up port forwarding.
