    What do you mean  by that? Any particular virtual server? To do what?

     

    The R6120 is a pretty basis router that doesn't even qualify for the Nighthawk label.

     

    According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer Internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet. It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support 1000BASE-TX.

    Manuals are always a good place to start.

    Visit the support pages:

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
