I have just upgraded from a 7800N, I need to open various ports for an Xbox One, do I use Port Trigerring.

There are 2 Xboxes so I can't just point the port to a specific internal IP address.

Thanks.

UPNP should open the required ports. (if UPNP is disabled on the xbox then you can use the virtual server section for port forwarding, the other xbox can go into DMZ)

Thank you. It has opened the ports itself.

Is there a way to just open ports rather than port forward etc?

Its the same thing, forwarding a port/open a port to a device (a device has to respond on the port that is forwarded to show as a open port)

But what if you have multiple devices that need a certain port open?

Then you open the ports for each device, if they use the same port, you will have to change the port on the device itself or use port re-direction.

eg internal port 80, external port 81, so we when try to reach the device you use external IP followed by :81 eg http://yourexternalIP:81

Port 81 will point to the port 80 on the device.

Only 1 device can use a external port at a time, eg you point 3074 to 192.168.1.200, traffic flows from the internet to your router on port 3074 to IP address 192.168.1.200, you can't port forward the same port to be used at the same time on different device, as traffic won't know which device to flow too (as both devices can't use the same external port at the same time, as port 3074 is already in used by the first device)
