port forwarding issue for remote viewing on wan

[sunny0101786]

my Blue iris is installed on PC which is connected to Asus RT-AC87U router that has ip 192.168.2.1 which is connected to D-Link router that has ip 192.168.1.1 and that is connected to the modem. i just cant figure out how to configure the remote viewing from my BI server from WAN.

You'd need to forward the ports on both routers to pass the traffic through. e.g., port 5678 on the outside of the D-Link would point inside to the outside IP of the Asus which would have port 5678 forwarded inside to port 5678 on the PC. Or you may be able to bridge the first router. Or you could flatten or reorg your network to make it easier, do it via VPN, etc.

The way you have the routers also plays a part. Here's a decent quick read.
