Configuring Advanced Features

 

The DMZ feature allows a computer on your home network to circumvent the firewall and have direct 
access to the internet. This feature is primarily used for gaming. The Gateway allows you to configure a 
temporary or permanent DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) to bypass the firewall for network or Internet gaming. 
If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must select the computer to be used as the DMZ computer/host. This 
function is recommended for use only when you require this special level of unrestricted access as it 
leaves your Gateway and network exposed to the Internet with no firewall protection. 

To enable and configure the DMZ: 

1. Select 

DMZ from the “
