Applications and Gaming > DMZ

The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.  DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port Range Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer to the Internet. 

Applications and Gaming > DMZ

DMZ

Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and should have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function..

Enabled/Disabled  To disable DMZ hosting, select Disabled.  To expose one PC, select Enabled.  Then configure the following settings:

Source IP Address  If you want any IP address to be the source, select Any IP Address. If you want to specify an IP address or range of IP addresses as the designated source, select and complete the IP address range fields..

Destination  If you want to specify the DMZ host by IP address, select IP Address and enter the IP address in the field provided. If you want to specify the DMZ host by MAC address, select MAC Address and enter the MAC address in the field provided. To retrieve this information, click DHCP Client Table..

DMZ > DHCP Client Table

DHCP Client Table

The DHCP Client Table lists computers and other devices that have been assigned IP addresses by the Valet. The list can be sorted by Client Name, Interface, IP Address, MAC Address, and Expired Time (how much time is left for the current IP address). To select a DHCP client, click Select. To retrieve the most up- to‑date information, click Refresh. To exit this screen and return to the DMZ screen, click Close. 

Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel Changes to clear your changes..

Applications and Gaming > QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) ensures better service to high-priority types of network traffic, which may involve demanding, real-time applications, such as videoconferencing.

QoS (Quality of Service)

Wireless

You can configure the WMM Support and No Acknowledgement settings in this section..

WMM Support  If you have other devices that support Wi- Fi Multimedia (WMM) on your network, keep the default, Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled..

No Acknowledgement  If you want to disable the Valet’s Acknowledgement feature, so the Valet will not re-send data if an error occurs, then select Enabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled..

Internet Access Priority

In this section, you can set the bandwidth priority for a variety of applications and devices. There are four levels priority: High, Medium, Normal, or Low. When you set priority, do not set all applications to High, because this will defeat the purpose of allocating the available bandwidth.  If you want to select below normal bandwidth, select Low.
