Need help port forwarding for XBox One remote Streaming
I have an R6200v2 Router and need help with port forwarding.
I came accross this set of instructions to setup port forwarding to stream XBox One Streaming remotely from anywhere
http://kinkeadtech.com/2015/07/how-to-stream-xbox-one-to-windows-10-from-anywhere-with-internet/
I have no clue when it comes to this stuff and I want to make sure I do it properly without messing up my existing Home Network.
Both the Port Forwarding and Port Triggering setup pages look very different from what the guy is using. Can someone walk me through what I do to set this up please?
Hi @varxtis,
You should input them in the field for External Starting Port and External Ending Port. You will need to forward them individually except for the range of 49000-65000. The steps are as follows.
1. Create a Service Name (It could be anything but you may not be able to use the same service name twice. Ex. XBOX1, XBOX2, and so on.)
2. Select the service type (TCP, UDP, or Both)
3. Input 5050 for both External Starting Port and External Ending Port.
4. Select the IP address of your XBOX.
5. Select Apply.
6. Do the same for the other port numbers. For the range, use 49000 for the External Starting Port and use 65000 for the External Ending Port.
