One of the significant factors of using an Adtran router on your home network is internet security. Typically, routers block ports and keep your network safe by only allowing specific connections. To play a game with your friends or use a remote application, you may need to unblock certain ports in your router or open them. So, for a better connection to use an application or game, you can open a port in your router and allow a direct link.
Follow these step-by-step instructions to open a port on your Adtran router:
The specific ports that need to be forwarded on an ADTRAN device will depend on the device and the service or application that you are trying to forward traffic to. Some common services and their default port numbers are:
It is important to note that some services or applications may use non-default port numbers.
Are you having trouble opening ports on your router because your ISP uses CGNAT? This is a common problem that many people face because CGNAT is often used by ISPs to save bandwidth and share IP addresses among multiple users on the same network.
But don’t worry, there’s a solution! One way to bypass CGNAT and easily configure port forwarding is by using a PureVPN port forwarding add-on. It’s a quick and easy way to solve this problem. Learn more about how to use PureVPN’s Port Forwarding add-on to bypass CGNAT.
Let’s be real, port forwarding can be a bit of a headache.

But don’t worry, PureVPN’s port forwarding add-on has got you covered!
With this add-on, you can easily open all desired ports, block all ports, or even just allow specific ports on all your devices, making the port forwarding process a breeze.

The location of the port forwarding section can vary depending on the specific model and firmware version of your Adtran router. If you are having trouble, refer to the router’s user manual or contact Adtran customer support for assistance.
Yes, port forwarding can be a security risk if not done properly and it’s best to only forward the ports you need and to use a strong password and other security measures to protect your network.
Yes, most routers allow you to forward multiple ports at once. You will typically need to create a separate rule for each port you want to forward.
Port forwarding shouldn’t affect your internet speed, but it can increase the amount of traffic on your network which could slow down the devices behind the router.
Yes, you can forward ports to multiple devices, but you will need to create a separate rule for each device.
