When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in the local network, it is totally
exposed to the internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication
between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with
all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special
applications, like IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ
host.
Note:
DMZ is most applicable when you don't know which ports to open. When it is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed
to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. If DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.

How can I do that?
1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.1.100.
2. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you
set for the router.
