Configure

applications, such as IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ 
host.

DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the 
DMZ host is totally exposed to the Internet, which may bring some potential safety hazards. If DMZ is not in use, 
please disable it in time.

Make the home PC join the Internet online game without port 
restriction.

For example

, due to some port restriction, when playing the 

online games, you can login normally but cannot join a team 
with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ 
host with all ports opened.

1.  Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 

192.168.0.100.

2.  Visit 

http://tplinkwifi.net

, and log in with the username and 

password you set for the router.

3.  Go to 

Forwarding

 > 

DMZ

.

4.  Select 

Enable

 and enter the IP address 192.168.0.100 in the 

DMZ Host IP Address

 filed.

5.  Click 

Save

.

You’ve set your PC to a DMZ host and now you can make a team 
to game with other players.

The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows the applications or host devices 
to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the 
corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices on the 
local network and  the Internet can freely communicate with each other realizing 
the seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you 
want to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time 
communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.

•  UPnP is enabled by default in this router.
•  Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.
