My router set-up

This is a step by step, how I set up my router to host (Thank You cargobeep)......

1. Get to your router's sign in page and enter your username and password.
a. For Windows 7, go to (Start) type in the make and model # for your router in (Search programs and files). Click on your routers name login.
b. If you are running Windows 10 go to (Ask Cortana anything) and type in the make and model # of your router. Click on your routers name login
c. For both above a. and b. make a shortcut for your desk top for easier access.

2. Your on home page for router, scroll down to Firewall in (Advanced Settings) click on Firewall.
a. You are on General page
b. Respond Ping Request from WAN click Yes and Apply.

3. Look in Advanced Settings for WAN and click on it.

4. Top of my next page I click on Virtual Server/Port Forwarding.

5. Scroll down and look for Port Forwarding.

a. Service Name .... wizard
b. Port Range.... 28888
c. Local IP ... Your IP adress
d. Local Port .... 28888
e. Protocol .... use Both
f. Click on ..... +
g. Click on Apply

6. Log out correctly, or the change to your router won't change.

7. When I put up a host I see a box that says I can't host (CLOSE IT) and wait and see if you can host.

7. Have our chat page open ( Wizard Community Forum ) so you can see if, anyone is trying to get on your host and can't.

Use this like a road map for your router.

If you still can't host, go back into your router and check that you entered in all correctly and try again, Good Luck.

To find your IP address, bring up a game and click on New Host, when you get to Start Game, close the first box so you can see all of the Start Game box. In the lower right corner of the box, click on Get IP.
