Many applications require certain ports to be opened on your home router to properly work. Perhaps you’re running a game server that needs to be exposed to the internet, or a web server on port 80. To allow the outside internet access, you will need to configure port forwarding. This tutorial will use the Ooredoo Fibre Home Gateway (EchoLife HG8247) – but it should apply to practically every Huawei router with minimal differences.
Step 1: Login to the router:
I have already written a complete article on how to gain access to the Ooredoo Gateway. But to quickly summarize (if you need more help, visit the link) – do the following:
- Navigate to http://192.168.100.1
- Input the following: user: admin password: admin
- Click login.
You should now find yourself on this page if you successfully logged in:
Step 2: Locate the Port Forwarding utility:
- Step 1: Click “Forward Rules”
- Step 2: Click “Port Mapping Configuration”
- Step 3: Click “New”

Hello,
The port 25565 is filtered on the port checker website. How do I unfilter it?
i have the same query
Follow the same steps outlined above replacing port 22 with 25565.
Let me know if it still shows up as filtered.

Hi, I’m wondering if we can do port forwarding in a mobile broad brand. The idea is to access my controller via vnc through port 5900. The controller will be connected to the internet using mobile broad band (either from ooredoo or vodafone QA). Please advise.
Howdy, I sent a more comprehensive answer by email, but the Tl;dr is that this depends on how ISPs in Qatar have the NAT setup for mobile broadband. If they manage it then the answer is no. Otherwise the answer is yes.
So I did as it says and I 100% put in Admin as the Username and Password but it’s telling me login failed so how do I fix this?
Okay so I read it again and went to the page, I used the different router ip for a lynksys cisco, which is what I use. But the page won’t load in, meaning that it isn’t my router’s ip even though it should be
Oh and just to add, I have two different routers, a Qtel router (Ooredoo) and a Lynksys Cisco so if that affects anything, i’d like help
I followed the steps properly but it shows the status “filtered” , the site says it means the firewall is not allowing it. How do I fix this?
Hello,
Some ports are filtered at the ISP level on residential connections, what port are you trying to open? If it is 22 then perhaps it was added to filtering, and I can double check for you.
EDIT: more details about your setup might also help.
