The firewall protects your LAN against port scans and denial of service (DoS) attacks. This protection should be disabled only in special circumstances. • Default DMZ Server.
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 Default DMZ Server The default demilitarized zone (DMZ) server feature is helpful when you use online games and video conferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The modem router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but there are other applications that might not function well.
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 Dynamic DNS If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name that is linked to your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). More commonly, Internet accounts have dynamically assigned IP addresses in which the IP addresses change frequently. In this case, use a commercial Dynamic DNS service to register your domain to its IP address and forward traffic directed at your domain to your current IP address.
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 LAN Setup The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). The modem router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as a DHCP server. The modem router’s default LAN IP configuration is as follows: • LAN IP address. 192.168.0.1 • Subnet mask. 255.255.255.
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 • IP Address. The LAN IP address of the modem router. • IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. Combined with the IP address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which have to be reached through a gateway or modem router. • RIP Direction. • RIP Version. • Use Router as DHCP Server.
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 Quality of Service (QoS) Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of others.
