Wireless-G Broadband Router 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. Change these settings as described here and click the Save Settings button to apply your changes or Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.

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

. Then, enter the computer's IP address in the
DMZ Host IP Address
field.

The Applications and Gaming Tab - QoS
Two types of Quality of Service (QoS) are available. Wireless QoS controls devices that are wirelessly
communicating with the Router. QoS controls devices plugged into the Router with an Ethernet cable.
Wireless QoS
WMM Support
. Wireless QoS is also referred to as Wi-Fi Multi Media (
WMM
). Select
Enable
to utilize WMM if
you are using other wireless devices that are also WMM certified.
No Acknowledgement
. Enable this option if you would like to disable acknowledgement. When enabled, the
Router will not resent data if an error occurs.
QoS
In this section, you can set priority based on a type of Category (such as an Application, Port Range, or MAC
Address). There are four priories you can set: High, Medium, Normal, or Low. Enable or Disable to set the Internet
