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?
Solved! Go to Solution.

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.

Hi @varxtis,
You may refer to the link below for the steps on how to setup port forwarding for your router. Please make sure you have the required information like the IP address of your the device that you will forwarding (XBOX), the port number/s, and protocol (TCP, UDP, TCP/UDP).

Re: Need help port forwarding for XBox One remote Streaming
Thank you very much!!
On the Range Service (49000-65000), I get the following error:
The specified port(s) are being used by other configurations. Please check your configurations of USB Readyshare, Remote Management, Port Forwarding, Port Triggering, UPnP Port Mapping table, RIP, and Internet connection type.
Any suggestions/ideas on what might be causing this by default.
EDIT: Found where they're being used... under UPnP. There seesm to be a LOT of them. Many are for the same IP Addresses. What is UPnP. is there a different round-about way of establishing the ranged ports for port forwarding. Also, for my clarification. Im supposed to be creating these new services under Port Forwarding and not Port Triggering, right?

Hi @varxtis,
UPnP allows some of your devices to discover and communicate with other connected devices within the network. You can disable UPnP then perform port forwarding. Yes, they should be under Port Forwarding not unless it is specified by the application to be triggered.

Re: Need help port forwarding for XBox One remote Streaming
Thank you again.
Last question:
If I do disable UPnP to do the port forwarding, would I reactivate it after Ive established the port forwarding? I use my tablet and phone a lot to manage my computers and transfer files. Idk if doing this would be worth messing up how my devices communicate with the network.

Hi @varxtis,
Yes, you may re-enable UPnP if you have lost some functionality between your devices.
