One-to-One NAT (Network Address Translation) is a method where each private IP address on a local network is mapped to a unique public IP address. This allows devices in a private network to communicate with external networks (like the internet) using a public IP, while still preserving their internal, private addresses. It's often used in scenarios where a device requires a dedicated, unambiguous address for external communication, such as hosting servers or ensuring secure remote access.
To configure One-to-One NAT on your Router:
- On a computer or mobile device that is connected to your PR60X router's network, access https://www.routerlogin.net. Your browser might display a security message, which you can ignore.
- A login window opens.
- Enter the router username and password.
- The username is admin. If you did not change your router's password during setup, enter password. The username and password are case-sensitive.
- On the router dashboard, select Firewall > Outbound NAT Rules.
- Next, click the + button to create a new rule.
- The Add/Edit Outbound NAT Rule page will display.
- Add a name for the new rule.
- Select the service from the Service drop-down menu.
- Under the Source Address field select Single to allow a single IP address and add the local IP address in the field below that will utilize the service that was selected from the Service drop-down menu.
- Under the Destination Address field leave this as Any to allow any traffic to reach the local source address.
- Under Outbound Interface select either WAN1 or WAN2 that will accept the translation IP address.
- Under the Translation IP address field, add the WAN IP address.
- Click Apply to save.
