Wireless-N Home Router
The Applications & Gaming Tab - Port Range Triggering
This screen instructs the Router to watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The IP address of the computer
that sends the matching data is remembered by the Router, so that when the requested data returns through the
Router, the data is sent to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
Port Range Triggering
To add an application, complete the following fields:
Application Name
. Enter the name of the application.
Triggered Range
. Enter the starting and ending port numbers of the triggered port range. Check with the Internet
application documentation for the port number(s) needed.
Forwarded Range
. Enter the starting and ending port numbers of the forwarded port range. Check with the
Internet application documentation for the port number(s) needed.
Enabled
. Click the
Enabled
checkbox to enable the applications you have defined. This is disabled (unchecked)
by default.

The Applications & Gaming Tab - DMZ
Wireless-N Home Router
The Applications & Gaming Tab - DMZ
The
DMZ
screen allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as
Internet gaming and videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port
Range Forwarding 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.
Any PC 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
To use this feature, select
Enabled
. To disable DMZ hosting, select
Disabled
.
Source IP Address
. If you want any IP address to be the source, select
Any IP Address
. If you want to specify an
IP address or range of IP addresses as the designated source, click the second radio button, and enter the IP
address(es) in the fields provided.
Destination
. If you want to specify the DMZ host by IP address, select
IP Address
and complete the IP address in
the field provided. If you want to specify the DMZ host by MAC address, select
MAC Address
and enter the MAC
address in the field provided. To retrieve this information, click the
DHCP Client Table
button.
The DHCP Client Table lists computers and other devices that have been assigned IP addresses by the Router. The
list can be sorted by Client Name, Interface, IP Address, MAC Address, and Expired Time (how much time is left
for the current IP address). To select a DHCP client, click the
Select
button. To retrieve the most up-to-date
information, click the
Refresh
button. To exit this screen and return to the
DMZ
screen, click the
Close
button.

The Applications and Gaming Tab - QoS
Wireless-N Home Router
The Applications and Gaming Tab - QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) ensures better service to high-priority types of network traffic, which may involve
demanding, real-time applications, such as videoconferencing.
QoS (Quality of Service)
Wireless
Wireless QoS
. If you have other devices on your network that support Wireless QoS, 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 keep the default,
Enabled
. Otherwise, select
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, select
Enabled
. Otherwise, select
Disabled
.

Port Range
Enter the port range that the application will be using. For example, if you want to allocate
bandwidth for FTP, you can enter 21-21. If you need services for an application that uses from
1000 to 1250, you enter 1000-1250 as your settings. You can have up to three ranges to define
for this bandwidth allocation. Port numbers can range from 1 to 65535. Check your
application's documentation for details on the service ports used.
