As (other) Rick says, port forwarding varies between routers; but the
two key points to research for your router are:
1) Assign (reserve) the K4 MAC(s) to specific IP addresses, so the
K4(s) is/are ALWAYS at the same LAN IP address (reboot the K4).
2) Port forward 9204 to the K4 (only one can be shared with the
outside, if more than one K4 on the LAN) IP address.
You may want to make sure that a password is made within the K4 (instead
of anyone) so you have some access control.
If you have (like me) Starlink or other CGNAT using ISP, then it gets
more complicated and probably isn't a topic to be discussed on this list.
Across my Starlink LAN (I have two LAN), it's working beautifully and
should be available 'real soon now' for public beta... have some
patience yet while the field test team runs it through it's paces and
some spit and polish are applied.

Simplicity is the keynote to K4 Remote. If you have an external IP
address, you only have to fill in a few fields to get going. You do
have to set up a "port forward" rule in your router in order to make
YOUR K4 accessible to remote control ops. All the routers have
different web pages to do this but they're pretty simple to navigate.
Mostly. ;-) If all you want to do is control remote K4's, you only
have to type in their address and, if established, password. It really
couldn't be easier.
