[Tech ARP] Thomson / Technicolor TG784n Port Forwarding Guide Rev. 2.0

Port forwarding is important if you have applications or games that require an unobstructed connection from a computer on your local network to a remote service or server. What it basically does is open a port in your firewall and direct all traffic that is sent to that port to a specific computer on your network. Think of it as opening a secret entrance in your city wall and then routing all traffic that goes through it to a specific house.

If you do not set up port forwarding for your application, it may not be able to connect to the service or you may have to live with reduced performance.

This port forwarding guide is for those who are using the older Thomson TG784n router, or the newer Technicolor TG784n v3 router. Although the example uses the latest Technicolor TG784n v3 router, the steps are the same for the older Thomson TG784n router. Let’s get right down to it!

In this update, we made various improvements and corrections to the guide. We also added some information on the default MAC address selection.
