DMZ

The Bright Box Wireless Router stops Internet traffic getting to your internal network unless

traffic is initiated by a computer or device on your network or you've set up port forwarding

or port trigger rules.

If you think your router is stopping a particular application (for example an online game or

video conferencing) from working correctly, you can temporarily add the computer or device's

IP address into the 'Demilitarized Zone' (DMZ) as a test. This will mean that many of the

router firewall features are bypassed for this computer while the DMZ is active.

Before setting up the DMZ, it is a good idea to reserve an IP address for the device you wish

to put inside the DMZ. You can do this in the Advanced Set-Up > DHCP admin page, under

the address reservation section. See how to reserve an IP address on page 124 for further

information.

Please be aware that the DMZ should only be used for testing or diagnostic purposes, as

it will make the computer inside the DMZ potentially vulnerable to external attack or hacking.

Use the Port Forwarding or Port Triggering functions to create specific port rules to allow

traffic through the router firewall.
