Hello Wendyj45
It is pretty simple to open the ports that you will need for your son. You will need to know the ip address of the game console or PC that your son is using typically if its a game console he can go into settings then network settings and it should tell him the IP address it should start with 192.168.X.X.Here is a article on how to do this. Let me know if you need more help on this issue.
