Be sure to statically assign the host’s IP address to make this function constant. 3.
Wireless N300 Home Router the port(s). 4. Enable: Check to enable current settings. 5. OK: Click to activate your settings. Now, your friends only need to enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21 in their browsers to access your FTP server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the router's WAN IP address. Assuming it is 172.16.102.89, and then your friends need to enter ftp://172.16.102.89：21 in their browsers.
Wireless N300 Home Router 6.2 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. Enabling DMZ host may expose your local network to potential attacks. So it is advisable to use it with caution. 1. DMZ Host IP Address: The IP Address of the device for which the router’s firewall will be disabled.
Wireless N300 Home Router 6.3 DDNS Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a term used for the updating in real time of Internet Domain Name System (DNS) name servers. Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a term used for the updating in real time of Internet Domain Name System (DNS) name servers.

Wireless N300 Home Router Note: 1. Gateway must be on the same IP net segment as device's LAN/WAN IP address. 2. Subnet Mask must be entered 255.255.255.255 if destination IP address is a host. 3. Subnet Mask must be entered accordingly if destination IP address represents an IP network segment. It must correspond to the specified IP address. For example, for IP address of 10.0.0.0, you may enter a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
Wireless N300 Home Router 6.6 Routing Table This page displays the device core routing table which lists destination IP, subnet mask, gateway, hop count and interface. The principal task for a router is to look for an optimal transfer path for each data packet passing through it, and transfer it to the specified destination. To complete this work, the router stores and maintains related data of various transfer paths, i.e. establishing a routing table, for future route selection.
