Before we can forward ports for Utorrent, we need to figure out what ports Utorrent is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on
how to do that. Go ahead and open up Utorrent.
Click
Options in the menu at the top of your screen. In the list that drops down click
Preferences.
Click
Connections on the left hand side of the Utorrent program. You should now see the menu shown in the
screenshot above. Make sure the
Enable UPnP box is unchecked. The number in the
Port Used for Incoming Connections
box contains the port you need to forward. You can change the port
number, if you want to. Please enter the port you chose into
the box below.
Utorrent's Port for incoming connections
To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address.
Take a look at our
Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address.
When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter
the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.
Do not skip this step!
Please enter the static ip you want to forward to: 192.168.1.
Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip
address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it.
Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router.
By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.1.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now.
By default the username is blank, and the password is
admin. Click the
Ok button to log in to your router.
Click the
Security link near the top of the page.
Remove the checkmark from the
Block Anonymous Internet Requests checkbox.
Click the
Save Settings button near the bottom of the page.
Click the
Applications & Gaming link near the top of the page.
You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click
Port Range Forward.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Utorrent requires
you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the
Port Range Forward menu.
When you're finished, click
Save Settings near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.
And that's it! You're done!
