Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network
to be placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the
firewall is causing problems with an application such as a game or
video conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary basis.
The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected from hacker attacks.
Note:
If your ISP subscription provides you with additional public
(WAN) IP addresses, additional computers can be placed outside the
firewall provided each computer uses a different public (WAN) IP.
To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in
the IP field and select “Enable”. Click “Apply Changes” for the change
to take effect.

WAN Ping Blocking
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential
victims on the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving
a response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something
of interest might be there. The Router can be set up so it will not
respond to an ICMP ping from the outside. This heightens the level of
security of your Router.
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping”
(1)
and click
“Apply Changes”. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping.
