LAN
You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find it
convenient to use the default settings together with DHCP service to manage the IP settings
for their private network. The IP address of the Router is the base address used for DHCP. In
order to use the Router for DHCP on your LAN, the IP address pool used for DHCP must be
compatible with the IP address of the Router. The IP addresses available in the DHCP IP
address pool will change automatically if you change the IP address of the Router.

Port Triggering
Some applications such as games, video conferencing, remote access applications and others

your own (Custom application).
Click the
Add

You can configure the port settings on this window by clicking the

DMZ Host
Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the Router supports use of a DMZ IP
address for a single host on the LAN. This IP address is not protected by NAT and will
therefore be visible to agents on the Internet with the right type of software. Keep in mind that
any client PC in the DMZ will be exposed to various types of security risks. If you use the DMZ,
take measures (such as client-based virus protection) to protect the remaining client PCs on
your LAN from possible contamination through the DMZ.
To designate a DMZ IP address, type in the IP Address of the server or device on your LAN,
and click the
Save/Apply
button
