DMZ Host
If an application has trouble working from behind the Gateway, you can expose one computer to the Internet
and run the application on that computer.
Note:
Placing a computer in the DMZ will expose that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option
is only recommended as a last resort.
DMZ Host IP Address:
Check the box to DMZ. This will de-activate any port-forwarding rules.
Enter the IP address of the computer you want to open to the Internet.

Port Triggering
The Port Triggering feature allows you to forward a range of ports to an IP address on your local network (LAN)
only after specific outbound traffic is detected. You can set up a port triggering entry based on your specific
ports.
IMPORTANT: Using various Internet applications depends on the Router’s firewall settings. Make sure that the
Router’s firewall is set to Medium Security or lower to take advantage of all the port forwarding features.
Firewall settings take precedence over port forwarding services configured in the Router. For example, if the
firewall is set to Medium Security, this will block ICMP packets even if the ICMP service is enabled. If a port
forwarding service is not working, try setting the firewall to a lower setting.
