How should I set up my router?

Applies To: Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials

During this step, Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials attempts to automatically configure your router by using UPnP commands. To do this, your router must support UPnP standards, and the UPnP setting must be enabled on your router.

Note

Your network configuration should follow the supported network requirements for Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials. There should be only one router on your network. For more information about Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials requirements, see Get Started.

If the router is not set up by the wizard, you must manually forward port 443.
