4.2 DMZ Host

The DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) function disables the firewall on the router for one device for a

special purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing applications that are not

compatible with NAT (Network Address Translation).

Click Applications -> DMZ Host to enter the DMZ Host screen.

Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. DMZ host poses a security risk. A computer configured as the DMZ host loses much of the

protection of the firewall and becomes vulnerable to attacks from external networks.

2. Hackers may use the DMZ host computer to attack other computers on your network.

disabled. Be sure to statically set the IP Address of that device for this function to be consistent.

② Enable: Check to enable the DMZ host.
