Set Up the DMZ Host

WARNING! The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the SBR-AC1750 router firewall. It is

exposed to the Internet and thus vulnerable to attacks or hacking from any computer on

the Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the DMZ.

You can configure one computer on your home network to be the DMZ. That computer will

operate outside of the SBR-AC1750 firewall and allow remote access from the Internet to your

computer, gaming device, or other IP-enabled device. The DMZ feature will only allow outside

users to have direct access to the designated DMZ device and not your home network.
