How to open ports in the router:
Note that normally, you would not have to do this. If you feel you need to, first double check as when you do a port
forward, it should automatically open the ports for you.
These are the default port that are open by default
WEB 80
SSH 22
HTTPS 443
RDP 3389
UDP 68
If you want to be use or open some of the uncommon ports to connect to your DVR or other devices from the
outside, below is the instruction on how to open up ports.
note that when you do a port forwarding rule, it normally opens the port by default so the below is normally not
needed.
Log into the router
Click on Advanced Mode --> Network Tab --> Firewall
Under Rules, click Add
For the Name, put whatever you like to describe it
Source Zone: Leave at WAN/USB
Protocol: Select which one you want or "Any" if you are not sure
Source Address: Leave it default "any"
Destination Address: (this is where you would enter the port you would like to open) example 2100
Action: Leave default at "accept"
Click "Save & Apply" to save the changes
Now the port is open in the router.
To actually use this, you may have to set a port forward rule
The easiest way is to upgrade to version 3.1 or later where has the port forwarding in the basic menu
Click on the basic mode --> Network Tab --> Port Forwarding
Click on Add
For Name, enter whatever you want to call it

How to Set a Wireless Bridge/Repeater:
The first thing you need to know ahead of time is the wireless SSID (network name) and password of the device that
you want to connect to if it has a security enable on it. Note it is case sensitive so make sure you have everything
exactly the way it is.
If you are using a hotspot device such as the MiFi units, the wireless password is printed on the inside cover of the
unit.
Connect the router to your pc with the Ethernet cable in one of the 4 ports (not the WAN port)
Open your web browser such as internet explorer or Fire Fox (do not use any other browser to set up router, after it
is set up, you can use any browser to surf)
Log into the router,
http://192.168.10.1
username: root
password: admin
1. If your hotspot or other router that you want to get the internet from has as the ip address range of
192.168.10.something, then you need to do the following 2 steps, if not go to step 3.
Note that most devices such as the wifi hotspot do not have this address so most likely you can skip this.
Go to "Network -> Interfaces -> LAN" and and set the IP address subnet to something other than the ip range of the
origin router.
(example, if the original router is 192.168.10.1, then you have to change the setting on this router such as to
192.168.50.1, but both router cannot have same ip address)
2. If you had to change the router ip address, Select the "Save and Apply" button. Since you just changed the IP of
the router, you will need to re-connect your PC to the router (DHCP). Close your browser and wait for a few mins
then reopen browser again.
You can also speed this up by taking out the network jack at back of the router and put it in another one of the 4
ports. Else worst case, just reboot your pc.
After your PC has received a new IP address, enter the router's new IP address in your web browser and re-login to
the router using the new ip you selected.
If you changed the router ip for example to 192.168.50.1, then you need to enter this in order to log into the router.
If you make a mistake and loose connection to the router, you can reset the router by hold down the reset button in
the back (next to the USB port) for 2 seconds while the power is on the router. After you release the button, the
router will reset back to the default address 192.168.10.1
3. Go to "Network -> Wifi Bridge/Repeater"
User Manual v1.0
Page 41 of 59
4. Enter the SSID of the main router you are trying to connect to and the wireless password. You can select this
from the box. If you are unable to select this, click on the Wifi Bridge/Repeater on the left hand side again to
refresh that screen.
5. Under repeater mode, change it to ENABLED and enter the SSID that you want to use for the repeater router. For
the wifi security, select WPA2-PSK and then enter the wifi password that you want to use for the new router.
6. When completed, click on save,
It should take 1 min for settings to be saved.
After it is saved, you should reboot the router by taking the power off and then one again.
After router comes back up, you should have internet access off it.
If you are having issues, go back to the wireless bridge/repeater section and go to the bottom and click on the
button “Press Here To Update Wifi Profile if Unable to Connect”
After you do that, best to reset the router by going to system in the basic mode then factory default and do a
factory default and start over again.
You can use this for example to supply internet to multiple devices connected to the Ethernet port and this is a
great way if you want for example to connect your DVD Player, TV, or other device to the internet without having to
run network cables in your living room.
For many customers, you might want to use this wireless repeater to boost the signal in different parts of your
house like the basement.

How to Remote Login into the Router:
Remote Login is enabled by default and can be access on port 80,81 and 8080
Port 8080 is the official port for remote access
If you have a public IP address, you will be able to access your router remotely by going to:
http://yourpublicIPaddress:8080
However, if you are using a cellular connection and have not paid or added a public ip option
to your account, you cannot get direct access to the router as the NAT will not let you do this,
If you have a security camera system for example and want to log in directly, you will need
to contact you provider and get a public ip option or contact us for a public IP option that we
offer.

There are many more features that are not covered in this manual such as
We are currently making some changes to this section but below is some more options not
fully documented
- Parental Control Scheduler (ability automatically to allow or block access to
individual devices via the mac address). This feature is great to block kids for use of
internet when they should not be using it.
- Wifi speed limiter. This allow you to set the upload and download speed of your wifi
signal. You can add up to 7 wifi network and each of these can be individually
control the speed. This feature would be great for customers of a bus company or
store that want to give their customers access to the internet but do not want a
customer to kill the bandwidth usage and cause a slow down for everyone else or use
up too much data.
- Bandwidth monitoring. This feature allow to see the usage at any point during the
month for each individual device. This is great if you have an infecting device and
want to track where the extra data use is coming from.
- Bandwidth control: This feature allow you to set specific amount of data to an
individual device via the mac address. You ,can also use this option in daily or
monthly quota so if a user used too much data in the allotted time, they will loose
internet access automatically until their time gets reset normally the next day or when
the billing month starts over.
- Mofi Alert Monitoring - Allows you to set up a MOFI Heartbeat to receive emails at
specific interval thus allow to know that the router is active (missing emails means router is
down). This section also has the ability to send emails when fail over is activated or when
router is rebooted due to watchdog restarting router automatically.
- Mofi Extended - An easy way to daisy change multiple MOFI routers to increase your
wireless range using multiple MOFI routers. This method is the preferred way but will
require connecting each router using a Ethernet (wired) connection.

MOFI CLOUD LINK
STATIC DEDICATED PUBLIC IP SERVICE
Do you need a public IP?
Do you know what is?
99% of all provider gives you what is called a private IP address.
With a private IP address, you cannot do any port forwarding so if you have a device
that needs to forward a port like a camera system, you will need to get a public IP.
Some providers offer this as an add-on but recently, many provider are not offering
this as an option and the MOFI CLOUD solution would make a great solution.
We have this service called MOFI CLOUD that will give you a dedicated static public
IP address. This means your IP address will not change and it is not share with
anyone and will have fully open ports even if they provider has them closed.
A wonderful benefit of the MOFI CLOUD is it does not matter what connection or
provider you use, you will always have the same IP. So if you want a WAN
(cable/DSL/satellite) connection or 3G/4G/LTE connection, it does not matter.
If you have a cellular connection and change provider, it still does not matter.
To use, contact us and we will set you up with a 7 days free trial and assign you a
username, password and static IP.
By phone 1-800-586-0345 or email: sales@mofinetwork.com
Once you have your account and know what server to use such as East or West,
Set Enable Remote Access to ON
Enter username and password
Then Save and reboot router.
Now you have your public IP address assigned and can access your router anytime
http://YourPublicIP:8080
User Manual v1.0
Page 54 of 59
To add a device like a video camera recorder (DVR) to get this public IP address and
be able to view your video for example from the outside,
Go back to the MOFI Cloud section where you put in your username and password
and in the bottom, there is an option to add the mac address of the device you want
to use a public IP address with. You can add as many device that you require.
Add the MAC of the device that you would like to you user and the IP Address
associated with it then save. Once this is saved, it will take effect instantly.
Normally before you do this, if you are using a device that has a static IP address, it
is recommended first to add a static route.
To do this, in Basic mode, go to Network --> DHCP
Scroll to the bottom and under Static Lease,
Click on Add
Enter a name to identify your device and select the mac address for it and set the IP
address that you want it to use.
Then click on Save
After it is saved, reboot the router
The last step is to do your port forwarding.
Since you are using the MOFI CLOUD, when you go to Network --> Port Forwarding
You will have to use VPN instead of WAN
That would complete your set up for a device using our MOFI CLOUD.
User Manual v1.0
Page 55 of 59
In some cases, you might want to use port 80 which is also only as default in the
router. If you want to use this, you will have to de-select port 80 that is in the
router.
To do this, go to Mofi Business --> Webserver
For the HTTP Port, change it from the default 80/81/8080 to 8080 which is the most
common, then click on save.
After you reboot the router, to access the router again, you will need to go to
http://192.168.10.1:8080
or
http://YourPublicIPAddress:8080
Since the MOFI router is not using port 80 now by default, you can use this for your
device that might need port 80.
