DMZ Host

System > WAN Setup

You may want to expose a specific computer or device on your network to the Internet

to allow anyone to access it. Your router includes the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) feature

that makes all the ports and services available on the WAN/Internet side of the router

and forwards all ports to a single IP address (computer or network device) on your

network. The DMZ feature is an easy way of allowing access from the Internet however,

it is a very insecure method and will open your local area network to greater threats

from Internet attacks. It is recommended to use port forwarding instead to limit rules to

specific ports/services only. If using multi-WAN mode, you can assign a DMZ host for

each WAN interface.

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”

on page 7).

2. Click on System, click on WAN Setup, and next to the WAN interface you would like

to assign a DMZ host, click Edit.

3. Under DMZ Setup, click the Mode drop-down list and select Automatic Assignment.

• Internal IP Address - Enter the IP address you assigned to the computer or

network device to expose to the Internet. (e.g. 192.168.10.250)

4. Click Save at the bottom. Then click Reboot at the top right to commit the changes.
