The DMZ port feature is also helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The firewall 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, local PCs can run the application properly if those PCs are used on the DMZ port.
Note: A separate firewall security profile is provided for the DMZ port that is independent of the standard firewall security used for the LAN.
The DMZ Setup screen allows you to set up the DMZ port. It permits you to enable or disable the hardware DMZ port (LAN port 8, see “Router Front Panel” on page

2.Check the Do you want to enable DMA Port? radio box.
