# Ideal Router Settings


It is always a good to step reboot your router to see if the DUO gets a good connection again. Also, you can always reboot your DUO by dialing *61 as well. If this does not solve the issue, you can optimize these settings in your router's webpage: 

1. IP Reservation 
2. Port Forwarding
3. DMZ

Please log in to your routers admin webpage and look for these standard settings:

**    IP Reservation: Check if the DUO IP is reserved in your router**
****
Please dial *41 from your phone connected to the DUO, to get the DUO IP address. Write down that IP address and reserve that IP Address in your router's webpage. 

   **Port Forwarding: Enable port forwarding on your router for the same DUO IP (from step 1)**

Enable this port for port forwarding for the same DUO IP (from step 1): 

Internal & External Port 5085 UDP

NOTE: This website will help you forward the correct ports on your specific router. There are a couple of things that do change but the overall method remains the same.

**DMZ: Find the DMZ setting in your router and add your DUO IP to the DMZ.**

Look for the DMZ setting in your router, and add the same DUO IP (from step 1) to your router's DMZ.
