Connect Automatically, as Required. This option is enabled by default so that Internet
connections are made automatically whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. If this

Router Status screen. See
button to display a screen similar to this:
Enable PPPoE Relay. When enabled, this feature allows a PPPoE client on a local PC to
connect to a remote PPPoE server with the gateway acting as a relay agent.
Disable Port Scan and DOS Protection. The firewall protects your LAN against port
scans and denial of service (DOS) attacks. This protection should be disabled only in
special circumstances.
Default DMZ Server. The default demilitarized zone (DMZ) server feature is helpful when
you use online games and video conferencing applications that are incompatible with
NAT. The wireless modem router is programmed to recognize some of these applications
and to work correctly with them, but there are other applications that might not function
well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if that
computer's IP address is entered as the default DMZ server.
