Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports

The Applications and Gaming Tab - DMZ

 

The DMZ feature allows one network user 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 Forward 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.

 

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.

 

To expose one PC, select Enable. Then, enter the computer's IP address in the DMZ Host IP Address field.

The Applications and Gaming Tab - 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.

 

For Wired QoS, there are three priority areas to designate: Device Priority, Ethernet Port Priority and Application

 

Priority. For Wireless QoS you can enable or disable WMM Support, No Acknowledgment and APSD Support.

 

Wired QoS

Enable/Disable. To limit outgoing bandwidth for the QoS policies in use, select Enable. Otherwise, select

Disable.

Upstream Bandwidth. This setting allows you to limit the outgoing bandwidth for the QoS policies in use, so you can control how much bandwidth a particular application is allowed to use. The default value is 0.

Device Priority

Enter the name of your network device in the Device name field, enter its MAC Address, then select its priority from the drop-down menu.
