Set up the DMZ host
Warning:
The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the Wi-Fi cable modem firewall.
It is exposed to the Internet and thus vulnerable to attacks or hacking from any
computer on the Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the
DMZ.
You can configure one computer on your home network to be the DMZ Host. That computer
will operate outside of the Wi-Fi cable modem firewall and allow remote access from the
Internet to your computer, gaming device, or other IP-enabled device. The DMZ Host feature
will only allow outside users to have direct access to the designated DMZ Host device and
not your home network.
To create the DMZ Host:
1. From any Wi-Fi Cable Modem Web Manager screen, click the
Firewall
main menu
button.
2. Click
DMZ
from the
Firewall
submenu options list to display the DMZ settings screen.
