RV345 Router Port Forwarding Setup

[stprice]

I have a RV345 router and trying to set up port forwarding to connect to a security system NVR.

I have created a service named: Dahau Name1, Protocol: TCP, Port Start:80, Port End:80

Now in the port forwarding in the firewall setting I have created the following.

External Service: Dahau Name 1, Internal Service: Dahau Name 1, IP Address: 192.168.1.254, Interface: WAN1

Is the correct setup?  I am confused about the external service vs. the internal service.  What is the difference?

make sure your device not using port 80.

here is an example :

Thanks for the fast reply.  I am using 3 ports 80, 37777, and 37778.  I have 3 entries in the services table and port forwarding.  I am just confused on the external service name.  Is it always supposed to be the same as internal service name?

i suggest having names like HTTP to HTTP, other unknown ports make your own custom name. you can check the logs if any failures.
