How to Port Trigger a Linksys With Wii

You use port triggering if you are having trouble having a device consistently stay connected to the Internet. You can also use it if you are experiencing NAT issues or if you have many devices that need to connect to a certain port on your router. Port triggering creates a sort of "on and off" switch for your ports, giving you a bit more security. If you are having issues with your Nintendo Wii staying connected, you may need to trigger your ports.

Instructions

- 1
  Open a web browser and access your router's settings page by entering "192.168.1.1" into the address bar. This is the Linksys default IP address.
- 2
  Input your username and password in the prompt. The default username is "admin," while the default password is also "admin."
- 3
  Click "Applications &Gaming" on the top bar of the window.
- 4
  Click "Port Range Triggering."
- 5
  Type "Nintendo Wii" into the Application Name column at least six times, as we have six ports to trigger.
- 6
  Input the number "28910" into each box in the row. You will then have rows that will say "28910 to 28910."
- 7
  Repeat Step 6 with the numbers "29900," "29901," "29920," "80" and "443."
