The APPLICATIONS & GAMING Tab - SINGLE PORT FORWARDING
Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router
The APPLICATIONS & GAMING Tab - SINGLE PORT FORWARDING
When you click the APPLICATIONS & GAMING tab, you will see the
SINGLE PORT FORWARDING
screen. You can
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).
Single Port Forwarding
Common applications are available for the first five entries. Select the appropriate application. Then enter the IP
address of the server that should receive these requests. Click the
Enable
checkbox to activate this entry.
For additional applications, complete the following fields:
Application Name
. Enter the name of the application.
External Port
. Enter the external port number used by the server or Internet application. Check with the Internet
application documentation for more information.
Internal Port
. Enter the internal port number used by the server or Internet application. Check with the Internet
application documentation for more information.
Protocol
. Select the protocol
TCP
or
UDP
, or select
Both
.
To IP Address
. Enter the IP address of the server that should receive the requests. To find the IP address, go to
“Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.” If you assigned a static IP
address to the server, then you can click the
DHCP Reservation
button on the
Basic Setup
screen to look up its
static IP address.
Enable
. Click the
Enable
checkbox to enable the applications you have defined. This is disabled (unchecked) by
default.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click
SAVE SETTINGS to
save the changes, or click
CANCEL CHANGES
to clear all fields and start over.

Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router
The APPLICATIONS & GAMING Tab - PORT RANGE FORWARDING
Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router
The APPLICATIONS & GAMING Tab - PORT RANGE FORWARDING
Port range forwarding sets 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
Basic Setup
screen).
If you need to forward all ports to one PC, click the
DMZ
tab.
Port Range Forwarding
To add an application, complete the following fields:
Application Name
. Enter the name of the application.
Start ~ End Port
. Enter the number or range of port(s) used by the server or Internet application. Check with the
Internet application documentation for more information.
Protocol
. Select the protocol
TCP
or
UDP
, or select
Both
.
To IP Address
. Enter the IP address of the server that you want the Internet users to be able to access. To find
the IP address, go to “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.” If you
assigned a static IP address to the server, then you can click the
DHCP Reservation
button on the
Basic Setup
screen to look up its static IP address.
Enable
. Click the
Enable
checkbox to enable the applications you have defined. This is disabled (unchecked) by
default.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click

Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming 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.
Enable
. Click the
Enable checkbox
to enable the applications you have defined. This is disabled (unchecked) by
default.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click

The APPLICATIONS & GAMING Tab - DMZ
Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming 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
.
DMZ Host IP Address
. If you want to specify the DMZ host by IP address, complete the IP address in the field
provided.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click
SAVE SETTINGS
to save the changes, or click
CANCEL CHANGES
to clear all fields and start over.

Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router
The APPLICATIONS & GAMING Tab - QOS
Quality of Service (QoS) allows the router to give priority to certain types of network traffic.
QoS (Quality of Service)
To enable QoS, click
Enable
.
If you do not wish to use QoS, select
Disabled
.
Automatic Classification
:
The router can automatically classify the types of traffic on your network.
To enable
automatic classification, click
Enable
.
Dynamic Fragmentation
:
The router can dynamically break down data that is too large to transmit in one
session.
This can improve network traffic speeds.
To enable dynamic fragmentation, click
Enable
.
Automatic Uplink Speed
:
The router can automatically detect the maximum uplink speed of your Internet
connection and optimize network traffic accordingly.
To enable automatic uplink speed detection, click
Enable
.
Measured Uplink Speed
:
If you have enabled Automatic Uplink Speed, this field will display the speed
measured by the router.
Manual Uplink Speed
:
If you have chosen not to enable Automatic Uplink Speed, select your maximum uplink
speed from the pull down list.
Connection Type
:
Select the type of Internet connection you have,
Cable
or
DSL
.
If you wish to have the router
detect the type of connection, select
Auto-detect
.
Detected Network
:
If you have chosen Auto-detect for Connection Type, the type of connection detected by the
router will be displayed here.
Add QoS Rule
The router has built-in QoS rules that gives priority to Voice, Video and Game traffic.
If you wish to add your own
rules in addition to the router’s built-in rules, click
Enable
.
Name:
Enter a name for the QoS rule.
You should choose a name that identifies with the rule created, i.e. Online
Game, VoIP, Video, etc.
Priority:
The priority of the traffic can be selected here.
Enter a number between
1
and
255
.
Traffic with lower
numbers will have higher priority than traffic with higher numbers.
i.e. Traffic with priority of 1 will have higher
priority than traffic with a priority of 2.
