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.
Tips: DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about 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,

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows the applications or host devices to automatically find the front-end
NAT device and send request to it to open the corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host
devices in the both sides of NAT device can freely communicate with each other realizing the seamless connection of
the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you want to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer
connections, real-time communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.
Note:
1. UPnP is enabled by default in this router.
