How to Port Forward for Games on Reyee Router

Gaming on a local network should be seamless but sometimes, connectivity issues, lag, or inability to host multiplayer sessions persist. One powerful fix is port forwarding, a technique that opens specific paths through your router to enable smooth game traffic. If you own a Reyee router, this guide shows you exactly how to port forward for gaming, troubleshoot issues, and even apply advanced strategies like policy routing for dedicated gaming performance.

How to Port Forward on Reyee Router Using PureVPN

Using PureVPN’s Port Forwarding add-on, you can open ports on your Reyee router easily and securely. The add-on is designed to avoid any restrictions imposed by your ISP and CGNAT, making port forwarding simple!

Follow the steps below to start port forwarding on your Reyee router today.

1. Subscribe to PureVPN and download the app on your device.
2. Log in to your PureVPN account.
3. Navigate to the “Subscription” section.
4. Click on “Configure” and then select “Enable Specific Ports.”
5. Customize your port settings by entering the appropriate port numbers.
6. Finally, save your changes by clicking “Apply Settings.”

Why Port Forwarding Matters for Gaming

Port forwarding directs incoming internet traffic on a specific port to a designated device on your network (e.g., your PC or console). In gaming, it’s crucial for:

• Hosting game lobbies for multiplayer sessions.
• Reducing NAT-related issues (Open, Moderate, Strict), improving matchmaking and voice chat.
• Ensuring stable, low-latency connections with external game servers.

A Reyee router calls this feature Port Mapping, but the essence is the same: creating a secure path from outside to inside your local network.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Port Mapping on Your Reyee Router

Requirements Before You Begin

Prepare the following:

• A Reyee router connected to the internet.
• A stable internet connection.
• The local IP address of your gaming device.
• Login credentials for your router’s admin interface.
• Optionally, use static IP assignment via DHCP to avoid shifting addresses.

Step 1: Log Into the Reyee Router Dashboard

1. Connect your PC to the Reyee network (via Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
2. Open a browser and go to 192.168.110.1—the default management interface.
3. Log in using your admin credentials (or none if logging in for the first time).

Step 2: Navigate to Port Mapping

1. Click More in the top menu.
2. Go to Advanced → Port Mapping (Port Forwarding).
3. Click Add to create a new rule.

Step 3: Input Port Details for Gaming

For each game port:

• Name/Service: e.g., “Game Server”.
• Protocol: Choose TCP, UDP, or both (depending on game requirements).
• External Port/Range: Port number the game listens on.
• Internal IP: The LAN IP (e.g. 192.168.110.50) of your gaming device.
• Internal Port: Usually matches the external port.

Save changes and ensure the rule appears in the active port mapping table.

Popular Game Ports

Game/Service	Port(s)	Protocol
Minecraft (Java)	25565	TCP
Call of Duty	3074	UDP/TCP
Fortnite	7777	TCP/UDP
Steam Remote Play	27036–27037	UDP

Adjust the fields above accordingly to suit each game you play.

Advanced Tip: Policy Routing for Gaming Traffic

If your Reyee model supports it, use Policy Routing to direct your gaming traffic through a specific WAN path (like a gaming-optimized network). Set it by:

• Navigating to Network → Routing → Policy Routing.
• Assign rules based on your device’s MAC or IP to route only gaming traffic through the optimized channel.

This ensures consistent speed and low latency across all sessions.

Troubleshooting: When Port Forwarding Doesn’t Work

Issue	Possible Cause	Fix or Solution
Ports still closed	Wrong IP or protocol	Review and correct port mapping rule
Router page not loading	IP address conflict or wrong gateway	Use default 192.168.110.1, reset router
Game lobby won’t host	ISP CG-NAT block or firewall interference	Ask ISP for public IP or disable firewall temporarily
Traffic not routing optimally	No policy routing configured	Set up policy routing for gaming devices

Also consider disabling VPN software, updating firmware, or resetting the router if issues persist.

Why This Reyee Approach Stands Out

Reyee routers deliver an intuitive port mapping interface within a feature-rich dashboard that integrates easily with other tools like Mesh networking, DHCP binding, and DDNS. The logical labeling (More → Advanced → Port Mapping) streamlines navigation, making the process accessible even to non-tech-savvy users.

Final Words

Port forwarding on a Reyee router enhances your gaming experience by delivering faster, more reliable connections. Whether you’re hosting Minecraft servers, playing Call of Duty, or streaming via Steam Remote Play, mapping the right ports can dramatically reduce latency and connection drops. Add in policy routing if you want a further boost in traffic management, Reyee gives you the tools to stay ahead.
