Note:

host is totally exposed to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazards. If DMZ is not in use, please disable
it in time.
I want to:
Make the home PC join the internet online game without port restriction.
For example, due to some port restriction, when playing the online games, you can log
in normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC
as a DMZ host with all ports opened.
How can I do that?
1 Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.0.100.
2 Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the router.
3 Go to Advanced
4 Click VIEW CONNECTED DEVICES
Address will be automatically filled in. Or enter the PC's IP address 192.168.0.100
manually in the DMZ Host IP Address
5 Click SAVE.
Done!
You've set your PC to a DMZ host and now you can make a team to game with other
players.
