Set Up a Default DMZ Server
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing applications
that are incompatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of
these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases,
one local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is entered as the default
DMZ server.

WARNING:
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ server

Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other
computers on your network.
