Applications and Gaming > DMZ
The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be
exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose
service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.
DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to
one PC. The Port Range Forward feature is more secure
because it only opens the ports you want to have opened,
while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer,
exposing the computer to the Internet.
Applications and Gaming > DMZ
DMZ
Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP
client function disabled and should have a new static IP
address assigned to it because its IP address may change
when using the DHCP function.
To expose one PC, select Enable. Then, enter the
computer's IP address in the DMZ Host IP Address field.
Click the Save Settngs button to apply your changes, or
click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.

Port Priority QoS does not require support from your ISP
because the prioritized ports LAN ports 1-4 are in your

the QoS screen, this feature will assign information a high
or low priority for the applications that you specify.
