you should assign static IP addresses to the designated
servers.

Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router
Applications & Gaming > Port Triggering
The
Applications & Gaming > Port Triggering
screen allows
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
pulled back 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 Forward 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 should have
its DHCP client function disabled and have a new static IP
address assigned to it because its IP address may change
when using the DHCP function.

Applications and Gaming > 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.
Applications and Gaming > QoS
QoS (Quality of Service)
Wireless
Wireless WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)
WMM is a wireless
Quality of Service feature that improves quality for audio,
video, and voice applications by prioritizing wireless
traffic. To use this feature, your wireless client devices in
your network must support Wireless WMM. If you would
like to disable this feature, select
Disabled
. Otherwise,
keep the default,
Enabled
.
No Acknowledgement
If you want to disable the Router’s
Acknowledgement feature, so the Router will not re-send
data if an error occurs, 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
of 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 set, select
