How do I open ports for routers?

Scenario 1: Single Port:
By default, your router will block all incoming connections (into your network) and allow all Outgoing connections to the Internet. In some cases, you may need to allow some connections into your network (for Example: Using the Remote Desktop Application). To do this, you must open ports on your router.

Please launch your browser and enter http://dlinkrouter.local or http://192.168.0.1 into the address bar. Then login and follow the steps below:
Step 1: Click Feature -> Port Forwarding
