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 & 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 PC. The Port Range 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 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.
To expose one PC, select
Enable
. Then, enter the
computer’s IP address in the
DMZ Host IP Address
field. This
feature is disabled by default.

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.
There are three types of QoS available: Device Priority,
Ethernet Port Priority, and Application Priority.
QoS

To enable QoS, select
Enable
. Otherwise,
select

Device Priority
Enter the name of your network device in the
Device name
field, enter its MAC Address, and then select its priority

Disabled
. Ethernet
Port Priority QoS does not require support from your ISP
because the prioritized ports LAN ports 1-4 are in your
network. This feature is enabled by default.
Application Priority
Application Priority QoS manages information as it is
transmitted and received. Depending on the settings of
the
QoS
screen, this feature will assign information a high
or low priority for the applications that you specify.

WMM
Support
Wi-Fi
Multimedia
(WMM),
formerly
known as Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME), is
a Wi-Fi Alliance certified feature, based on the IEEE
802.11e standard. This feature provides QoS to wireless
networks. It is especially suitable for voice, music and
video applications; for example, Voice over IP (VoIP), video
streaming, and interactive gaming. If you have other
devices on your wireless network that support WMM,
select
Enabled
. Otherwise, keep the default,
Disabled
.
