After login, paste in the terminal window the following commands:

sed -i '/^exit 0/i iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d 35.205.62.147 -p udp -m udp --dport 1812 -j DNAT --to-destination 35.205.62.147:31812' /etc/rc.local

sed -i '/^exit 0/i iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d 35.205.62.147 -p udp -m udp --dport 1813 -j DNAT --to-destination 35.205.62.147:31813' /etc/rc.local

After pasting the commands, press Enter and the AP will be rebooted.
