Wireless-G High-Speed Router with SpeedBooster

Figure 6-35: Applications and Gaming Tab - DMZ

The Applications and Gaming Tab - DMZ

The DMZ feature allows one network user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such 
as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port 
Range Forward 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. 

Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and should have a new static 
IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function.

To expose one PC, select 

Enable

. Then, enter the computer's IP address in the 

DMZ Host IP Address

 field.

Change these settings as described here and click the 

Save Settings 

button to apply your changes or 

Cancel

to cancel your changes. 

The Applications and Gaming Tab - QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) ensures better service to high-priority types of network traffic, which may involve 
demanding, real-time applications, such as videoconferencing. 

There are three types of QoS available, Device Priority, Application Priority, and Ethernet Port Priority.

Enable/Disable

. To limit outgoing bandwidth for the QoS policies in use, select 

Enable

. Otherwise, select 

Disable

.

Upstream Bandwidth

. Select the bandwidth to be used from the drop-down menu. This setting allows you to 

limit the outgoing bandwidth for the QoS policies in use, so you can control how much bandwidth a particular 
application is allowed to use.

Device Priority

Enter the name of your network device in the 

Device name

 field, enter its MAC Address, then select its priority 

from the drop-down menu.

Ethernet Port Priority

Ethernet Port Priority QoS allows you to prioritize performance for four of the Router’s ports, LAN Ports 1-4. For 
each of these ports, select 

High 

or

 Low 

for 

Priority

. For Flow Control, if you want the Router to control the 

transmission of data between network devices, select 

Enable

. To disable this feature, select 

Disable

. The 

Router’s other four ports will be automatically assigned low priority. Incoming Rate Limit limits the incoming
