Applications and Gaming > Single Port
Forwarding
The
Single Port Forwarding
screen allows you to customize
port services for common applications on this screen.
When users send these types of requests to your network via
the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to the
appropriate servers (computers). Before using forwarding,
you should assign static IP addresses to the designated
servers (use the DHCP Reservation feature on the
Basic Setup
screen; refer to
DHCP Reservation
,
page 7
).

To IP Address
For each application, enter the IP address
of the computer that should receive the requests. If you
assigned a static IP address to the computer, then you
can look up its IP address; click

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.)
When users send these types of requests to your network via
the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to the
appropriate servers (computers). Before using forwarding,
you should assign static IP addresses to the designated
servers (use the DHCP Reservation feature on the

to the proper computer by way of IP address and port
mapping rules.

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 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

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.

hosting,
select

Applications and Gaming > QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) ensures better service to

videoconferencing.

QoS (Quality of Service)
Wireless
You can configure the support and No Acknowledgement
settings in this section.
WMM Support
If you have other devices that support
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) on your network, keep the
default,
Enabled
. Otherwise, select
Disabled
.
No Acknowledgement
If you want to disable the Router’s
Acknowledgement feature, so the Router will not re-send
data if an error occurs, then select
Enabled
. Otherwise,
keep the default,
Disabled
.
Internet Access Priority
In this section, you can set the bandwidth priority for a
variety of applications and devices. There are four levels
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.
Enabled/Disabled
To use the QoS policies you have set,
keep the default,
