That address will not go thru a router, it is an assigned private block
(192.168.xx.zz) that you can set up for your home networks, so you will
need to setup a NAT scheme in the router and let it handle the details. I
do that here for 6 machines full time, and they all have free run of the
net. And with the router running dd-wrt or one of its ilk, it stands
guard, allowing nothing coming in that wasn't asked for. And its been
standng guard here for 20 years now with no penetrators.
