Screen Descriptions
Firewall
– Set up a firewall for this router to block specific incoming or outgoing traffic by
IP address and/or ports.
DMZ
– Set up a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) to allow all incoming traffic to be forwarded to a
specific computer as if it were connected outside of the router. If you are aware of the
specific TCP and UDP ports that a service is using, it we recommend using port forwarding
as an alternative.
Note:
Firewall settings and Port Forwarding Rules supersede the configured
DMZ host.

MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer.
