Port Triggering allows you to watch outgoing data for specific port
numbers. Your router remembers the IP address of the computer that
sends the matching data, so when the requested data returns through
your router, the data is pulled back to the correct computer. Click
Save Changes to keep any changes you made to the router settings
or click Cancel to cancel your changes.

FIREWALL
Configure a firewall that can filter out various types of unwanted
traffic on your router’s local network.
SPI Firewall Protection: Select Enable to use firewall protection or
Disable to turn off firewall protection.
Internet Filter:
Filter Anonymous Internet Requests: Select to make
it more difficult for outside users to access your network.
Filter Multicast Multicasting: Select to allow multiple
transmissions to specific recipients at the same time.
Your router will allow IP multicast packets to be
forwarded to the appropriate computers.
Filter Internet NAT Redirection: Select to prevent a
local computer from using a URL or Internet address to
access the local server.
Filter IDENT (Port 113): Select to keep port 113 from being scanned by devices outside of your local network.
Web Filter: Select Proxy, Java, ActiveX, and Cookies to filter those web protocols. You can select as many options as you would like
filtered.
DMZ
DMZ allows one network computer to be exposed to the Internet for
activities such as Internet gaming and videoconferencing. DMZ
hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one computer. Port
Forwarding is more secure because you select the ports you want
opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer,
exposing the computer to the Internet. You should disable the DHCP
client function of the computer whose port is being forwarded and
assign it a new static IP address assigned because its IP address may
change when using the DHCP function. Click Save Changes to keep
any changes you made to the router settings or click Cancel to cancel
your changes.
On/Off: Select On to allow computers on the Internet to access a
local computer.
