Editing How to Adjust Nat Settings on Linksys Router (section)



If you want to adjust NAT settings on your Linksys router, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open a web browser on a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Linksys router.

Step 2: Enter the router's IP address into the address bar and press Enter. The default IP address for Linksys routers is usually 192.168.1.1, but it may vary depending on the model.

Step 3: Enter your router's username and password when prompted. If you haven't changed the default credentials, the default username is usually "admin" and the password is blank or "admin."

Step 4: Navigate to the "Security" or "Firewall" section of your router's settings. The location of this option may vary depending on the model of your Linksys router.

Step 5: Look for the NAT (Network Address Translation) settings. You may find the NAT settings under a different name, such as "NAT Filtering" or "SPI Firewall."

Step 6: Adjust the NAT settings to your desired level of security. You may have the option to disable NAT altogether or adjust the level of filtering for inbound and outbound traffic.

Step 7: Click "Save" or "Apply" to save your changes.

Step 8: Restart your router to ensure that your changes take effect.

Note: Changing your NAT settings may affect your network's performance, so it's a good idea to test your internet connection after making changes to ensure that everything is still working correctly.
