Port Forwarding Settings section
This feature allows you to set up specialized Internet applications that require port forwarding
on a range of ports.
Router tab > Application page >
DMZ Settings section
The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be exposed to the Internet for use of a
special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing. DMZ hosting forwards
all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port Forwarding feature is more secure because it
only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one
computer, exposing the computer to the Internet.
Enable
Enable forwarding for the chosen application. Options are
Yes
or
No
.
Service Name
Any name to call the port forwarding starting port.
Starting Port
The starting port of the port range you wish to forward.

.
Server IP Address
The LAN address of the computer to receive port forwarding.
Enable DMZ
Any PC whose port is forwarded must have its DHCP client function
disabled and should have a new static IP address assigned to it because
its address may change when using the DHCP function. To expose one
PC, select
Yes
. The default is
No
.
DMZ Host IP Address
Specify the host computer’s IP address.
