Figure 5-35: Applications and Gaming Tab - DMZ
The Applications and Gaming Tab - DMZ
The DMZ feature allows one network user 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.
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.

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.
For Wired QoS, there are three priority areas to designate: Device Priority, Ethernet Port Priority and Application
Priority. For Wireless QoS you can enable or disable WMM Support, No Acknowledgment and APSD Support.
Wired QoS
Enable/Disable
. To limit outgoing bandwidth for the QoS policies in use, select
Enable
. Otherwise, select
Disable
.
Upstream Bandwidth
. This setting allows you to limit the outgoing bandwidth for the QoS policies in use, so you
can control how much bandwidth a particular application is allowed to use. The default value is 0.
Device Priority
Enter the name of your network device in the
Device name
field, enter its MAC Address, then select its priority
from the drop-down menu.

Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports
Ethernet Port Priority
Ethernet Port Priority QoS allows you to prioritize performance for four of the Router’s ports, LAN Ports 1-4. For
each of these ports, select
High
or
Low
for
Priority
. For Flow Control, if you want the Router to control the
transmission of data between network devices, select
Enable
. To disable this feature, select
Disable
.
Ethernet Port Priority QoS does not require support from your ISP because the prioritized ports are LAN ports
going out to your network.
Application Priority
You may control your data rate with respect to the application that is consuming bandwidth. Check
Optimize
Gaming Applications
to automatically allow common game application ports to have a higher priority. You may
customize up to eight applications by entering the port number they use.
Wireless QoS
WMM Support (WiFi Multimedia)
. This is available if you are using other devices that are also WMM certified.
You can enable or disable this feature.
No Acknowledgment.
If this feature is enabled the router will not resend data if an error occurs.
APSD Support (Automatic Power Save Delivery) Support
. This is a power management method that sends
and receives data at the same rate. You can enable or disable this feature.
