W±reless-N ADSL2+ Gateway
Applications and Gaming > Single Port
Forwarding
The
 Single Port Forwarding
screen allows you to customize
port services for common applications.
Applications and Gaming > Single Port Forwarding
When users send these types of requests to your network
via the Internet, the Gateway will forward those requests
to the appropriate servers (computers). Before using
forwarding, you should assign static IP addresses to the
designated servers.
Single Port Forwarding
To forward a port, enter the information on each line for
the criteria required.
Appl±cat±on
Enter the name you wish to give the
application. Each name can be up to 12 characters.
External and Internal Port
Enter the external and
internal port numbers.
Protocol
Select the protocol used for this application,
either
TCP
or
UDP
.
IP Address
For each application, enter the IP address of
the computer that should receive the requests.

Applications and Gaming > Port Range
Forwarding
The
  Port  Range  Forwarding
screen allows you to set up
public services on your network, such as web servers,
ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet
applications. (Specialized Internet applications are any
applications that use Internet access to perform functions
such as videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet
applications may not require any forwarding.)
Applications and Gaming > Port Range Forwarding
When users send these types of requests to your network via
the Internet, the Gateway will forward those requests to the
appropriate servers (computers). Before using forwarding,
you should assign static IP addresses to the designated
servers.
If you need to forward all ports to one computer, click the
DMZ
tab.
Port Range Forwarding
To forward a port range, enter the information on each
line for the criteria required.
Appl±cat±on
In this field, enter the name you wish to give

port(s) used by the server or Internet applications. Check
with the Internet application documentation for more
information.

W±reless-N ADSL2+ Gateway
Applications & Gaming > Port Range
Triggering
The
Port  Range  Triggering
screen allows the Gateway to
watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The IP
address of the computer that sends the matching data is
remembered by the Gateway, so that when the requested
data returns through the Gateway, the data is pulled back
to the proper computer by way of IP address and port
mapping rules.

the triggered port number range. Check with the Internet
application
documentation
for
the
port
number(s)
needed.
Forwarded Range Start Port and End Port
For each
application, enter the starting and ending port numbers
of the forwarded port number range. Check with the

Applications and Gaming > DMZ
The DMZ 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 PC. 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 should have a new
static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may
change when using the DHCP function.
DMZ Host±ng
To disable DMZ hosting, keep the default,
D±sable
. To expose one PC, select
Enable
. Then configure
the following setting:

Enter the IP address of the
computer.

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

W±reless-N ADSL2+ Gateway
Wireless Network
The Gateway features Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM™) Support.
The No Acknowledgement feature is available only when
the WMM Support feature is enabled.
WMM Support
Wi-Fi Multimedia is a QoS feature defined
by WiFi Alliance before IEEE 802.11e was finalized. Now it
is part of IEEE 802.11e. When it is enabled, it provides four
priority queues for different types of traffic. It automatically
maps the incoming packets to the appropriate queues
based on QoS settings (in IP or layer 2 header). WMM
provides the capability to prioritize traffic in your
environment. If you have other devices on your network
that support WMM, keep the default,
Enable
. Otherwise,
select
D±sable
.
No
ACK
If
you
want
to
disable
the
Gateway’s
Acknowledgement feature, so the Gateway will not re-
send data if an error occurs, then keep the default,

Category
Select one of these categories:
Appl±cat±ons

Then proceed to the instructions below for your selection.
For each category, you can set the bandwidth priority to
one of four levels:
H±gh
,
Med±um
,
Normal
, or
Low
. Be
careful not to set all your applications to High priority,
as this will defeat the purpose of allocating the available
bandwidth. For below-normal bandwidth, select
Low
.
Depending on the application, a few attempts may be
needed to set the appropriate bandwidth priority.
