You must log into your router after setting up a static IP address on your devices.

Step 2: Now we'll go into your Dlink DSL-225 router and log in. Since your router has a web interface, you'll use your web browser to log in.

Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Edge are all options. It usually makes no difference which browser you use. Locate the address bar in your web browser.

Replace all of that with your Dlink DSL-225 router's IP address. The IP address of your router is also known as your computer's default gateway. By default, the IP address is set to 192.168.1.1

You may press enter after entering your router's IP address. You should be prompted for your username and password in a box.

Step 4: Select the Custom Service radio button and turn it on. In the Custom Service box, give this forward a name to remember why you made it. It doesn't matter what your name is, so choose something meaningful to you.

In the Server IP Address box, type the IP address to which you're forwarding ports. This can be your computer's IP address or some other IP address on your network to which you want ports forwarded.

Enter the lowest number of the range into the External Port Start, and Internal Port Start boxes if you're forwarding a range of ports. Then, in the External Port End and Internal Port End boxes, type the highest number in the range.

Enter the port number in the External Port Start, External Port End, Internal Port Start, and Internal Port End boxes if you're forwarding a single port.

In the Protocol box, choose the protocol type for the ports you're forwarding. When you're done, press the Apply/Save button. All of your ports should be available now.
