Port Forwarding Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For example, you might make a local Web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet. Use the Port Forwarding screen to configure the N300 wireless modem router to forward specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network.

The DMZ server is configured in the WAN Setup screen, as discussed in Configuring the WAN Setup Options on page 117." Before starting, you need to determine which type of service, application, or game you will provide, and the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service.
