Special Applications

The Special Application section is used to open single or multiple ports on your router when the

router senses data sent to the Internet on a ‘trigger’ port or port range. Special Applications rules

apply to all computers on your internal network.

Application Level Gateway (ALG) Configurations

Here you can enable or disable ALG’s. Some protocols and applications require special handling of

the IP payload to make them work with network address translation (NAT). Each ALG provides

special handling for a specific protocol or application. A number of ALGs for common applications are

enabled by default.

Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate network

using PPTP protocol.

Allows multiple VPN clients to connect to their corporate network using IPSec.

Some VPN clients support traversal of IPSec through NAT. This ALG may

interfere with the operation of such VPN clients. If you are having trouble

connecting with your corporate network, try turning this ALG off.

Allows applications that use Real Time Streaming Protocol to receive

streaming media from the internet. QuickTime and Real Player are some of

the common applications using this protocol.

Allows FTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT. Refer to the

Advanced -> Virtual Server page if you want to host an FTP server.

Allows Microsoft NetMeeting clients to communicate across NAT. Note that

if you want your buddies to call you, you should also set up a virtual server

for NetMeeting. Refer to the Advanced -> Virtual Server page for information

on how to set up a virtual server.

Allows devices and applications using VoIP (Voice over IP) to communicate

across NAT. Some VoIP applications and devices have the ability to discover

NAT devices and work around them. This ALG may interfere with the

operation of such devices. If you are having trouble making VoIP calls, try

turning this ALG off.

Allows Windows Media Player, using MMS protocol, to receive streaming

media from the internet.

Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate network

using the L2TP protocol.

The GameFuel

option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications.

By default the GameFuel settings are disabled and application priority is not automatically classified.

GameFuel

™

Setup

This option is disabled by default. Enable this option for better performance

and experience with online games and other interactive applications, such

as VoIP.

This option is enabled by default when the GameFuel option is enabled.

This option will allow your router to automatically determine which programs

should have network priority.

This option should be enabled when you have a slot Internet uplink. It helps

to reduce the impact that large low priority network packets can have on

more urgent ones.

If Dynamic Fragmentation is enabled, you can fine tune the fragment size.

The default value is 576. Select a smaller size if you have a slow uplink and

VoIP quality is not optimal; select a larger size for faster uplinks.

The speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP. This

is determined by your ISP. ISP’s often speed as a download/upload pair. For

example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using this example, you would enter 284.

Alternatively you can test your uplink speed with a service such as
