Setting Up A Default DMZ Server
The Default DMZ Server feature is helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing
applications that are incompatible with NAT. The wireless modem router is programmed to
recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other
applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application
properly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the Default DMZ Server.
