How to Port Forward on Telstra
You’ll need to know your router’s internal IP address to use the built-in Telstra Gateway Max router ports. This is a unique number that identifies your router on the network. You can find it in the Telstra Gateway Max web interface by navigating to Status > WAN > IP Connectivity and looking at the WAN IP address.
Next, you’ll need to determine the external IP address of the router. This public IP address routes traffic from the Internet to your home network. You can find it by visiting our free Public IP Address tool page or by going to http://ip4.me/. Ensure it’s not any IP address you use for any other device.
Once you have both IP addresses, click the Port Forwarding link on the left side of this page. You’ll be prompted to enter a name and port number to forward.
