Requirements on the Streaming Network #
In order to stream out from a network connection a router needs to allow TCP / UDP packets on specific ports. These by default are allowed on almost all routers, however there are a couple that require these to be manually set. See below for what is needed:
Settings #
Network to allow TCP and UDP packets
Ports to be open are: 80, 443, 3478, 5349
Example of how this is set up #
This is an example of how to set up a Netgear Nighthawk M1 mobile router, however the same process can be done across all routers.
- Connect to the router by ethernet cable or WiFi
- Open a browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.1
- Log in as administrator. The default login is usually printed on the router with IP and admin / password
- Find the IP address of the router (IPV4). this can be found under the network tab
- Go to Advanced Settings > Port Forwarding > Add Rule
- Set a name, it can be anything
- Add port number as listed in settings above. (Start and end can be the same number)
- Add IP address that was noted earlier
- Choose TCP / UDP (TCP is the priority if there is only the one choice)
- A rule for each port needs to be separately added: 80, 443, 3478, 5349 (4 in total)
- Make sure the Port Forwarding is enabled
- Reboot the router. When logged back on you will be able to stream
