Applications and Gaming > DMZ
The
DMZ
(Demilitarized
Zone)
feature
allows
one
network computer 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 computer° The Port Range
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°
Applications and Gaming > DMZ
DMZ
Any computer whose port is being forwarded must have
its DHCP client function disabled and have a new static IP
address assigned to it because its IP address may change
when using the DHCP function°

Applications and Gaming > QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) is a method that assigns priority
to specific types of network traffic, which often are
demanding, real-time applications, such as gaming,
videoconferencing, video streaming, and Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony° QoS helps to ensure
optimal performance for these types of uses°

Wireless
WMM Support
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a wireless
Quality of Service feature that improves quality for audio,
video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless traffic°
To use this feature, the wireless client devices in your
network must support Wireless WMM° To disable this option,
select
Disabled
° Otherwise, keep the default,

Internet Access Priority
In this section, you can set the bandwidth priority for a
variety of applications and devices° There are four levels
of priority: High, Medium, Normal, or Low° When you
set priority, do not set all applications to High, because
this will defeat the purpose of allocating the available
bandwidth° If you want to select below normal bandwidth,
select
Low
° Depending on the application, a few attempts
may be needed to set the appropriate bandwidth priority°

Category
You can define the Internet access priority level for as
many categories as you want° The
Summary
section will
display all of the priority selections that you enter° Select
from the following categories:
Applications
Allows you to assign a priority level for a
pre-defined application or one that you add°
Online Games
Allows you to assign a priority level for
a pre-defined game or one that you add°
MAC Address
This option lets you prioritize network
traffic based on the device that is accessing the
network° For example, if you want your gaming
console to have higher priority accessing the Internet
than your computer, you can assign their priority levels
using their respective MAC addresses°
Ethernet Port
This option allows you to prioritize
traffic connected to a specific Ethernet port° For
example, you can assign a higher priority level to the
computer connected to port 1°
Voice Device
Voice devices require a higher priority
level° You can assign a higher priority level to voice
devices using their respective MAC addresses°
