Q&A: Port Forwarding on my wireless modem.?
Question by jacobmbp: Port Forwarding on my wireless modem.?
I recently bought a SlingBox and am trying to set it up to where I can access it from outside my home. SlingBox tech support tells me I need to contact my ISP to enable Port Forwarding on my modem. My ISP tells me they don't support that. When I enter my modem's IP in my address field I am able to access it, but under the Gateway Option, there is no Port Forwarding Option.
I have an Ambit U10C019 wireless modem.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm about ready to just return my slingbox...I can't seem to get it. =/
Thanks!!!
It's a wireless modem...do I really need a router?

Port Forwarding (PAT) is done on a router, not a modem. You’ll need a router to complete this task.
