Opening ports is an essential step when it comes to optimizing your internet connection and allowing specific services or applications to communicate through your Fritz Box 7490 router. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of opening ports on your Fritz Box 7490 router, step-by-step. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Access your Router’s Admin Panel

The first step is to access your Fritz Box 7490 router’s administration panel. To do this, follow these simple steps:

  • Ensure your computer or device is connected to the Fritz Box 7490 router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable.
  • Open your preferred web browser.
  • Type “fritz.box” or “192.168.178.1” into the address bar and press Enter.
  • You will be redirected to the login page of your Fritz Box 7490 router.
  • Enter your username and password. If you haven’t changed them before, the default values are usually “admin” for both.
  • Click on the “Login” button to access the admin panel.

Step 2: Navigate to the Port Forwarding Section

Once you have accessed the admin panel, follow these steps to navigate to the port forwarding section:

  • Click on the “Internet” tab.
  • Select “Permit Access” from the dropdown menu.
  • In the left sidebar, click on “Port Sharing”.
  • Now you should see the “Port Sharing” section where you can configure port forwarding rules.

Step 3: Add a Port Forwarding Rule

Now, let’s create a port forwarding rule to open the desired ports:

  • Click on the “Add Device for Port Sharing” button.
  • Select the device or application you want to open ports for. If it’s not listed, click on “Add New Device” and provide the necessary details.
  • In the “Protocol” dropdown, select the appropriate protocol for your application (e.g., TCP, UDP, or both).
  • Enter the port range you want to open (e.g., 8080-8085) or a single port if you only need to open one.
  • If your application requires a specific IP address, enter it in the “IP address” field. Otherwise, leave it blank to allow any IP address.
  • Click on the “Apply” button to save the port forwarding rule.

Step 4: Test the Port Forwarding

After creating the port forwarding rule, it’s crucial to test if the ports are properly open. To do this, follow these steps:

  • Visit an online port checking tool like “canyouseeme.org” or “portchecker.co”.
  • Enter the port number you opened.
  • Click on the “Check” button.
  • If the tool reports that the port is open, congratulations, you have successfully opened the port on your Fritz Box 7490 router!

By following these simple steps, you can easily open ports on your Fritz Box 7490 router and improve your internet connection for specific services or applications. Remember to always choose secure and trusted applications when opening ports to ensure the safety of your network. Happy port forwarding!
