Probably an RTP300 or WRTP54G.
http://192.168.15.1
Log in (admin/admin is the default, and if you haven't changed it go to "Administration" and do that FIRST).
Go to "Applications and Gaming"
Forwarded ports can be found there.
Just an aside. By default, all ports on most routers are "open" unless you specifically close them. However, I'm assuming you actually want to "forward" a port, meaning any unsolicited packets coming in on that specific port will be sent to the computer you specify. |

The Bit Torrent downloads are very slow and I thought I had to open a port on the router to speed it up? |

Trust me. You DO NOT, repeat DO NOT want to mess with BitTorrent on that router, assuming it is a WRTP54G or RTP300.
I have a WRTP54G, and almost went certifiably insane trying to make it stable with BitTorrent, not to mention the nonexistent QoS, and finally gave up and put a real router in front of it (WRT54GL with aftermarket firmware), and turned my WRTP54G into a Vonage-only device. |

Thanks! I will put my router back on and then look to configure the Vonage router to be Vonage only. |

How would I turn off the QoS on the RTP300? |
