Router mode: Set up a default DMZ server A default DMZ server is helpful when you are using some Internet services and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). The access point/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 loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on your network. The access point/router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a response to one of your local computers or a service or application for which you set up a port forwarding or port triggering rule (see Router Mode: Manage Port Forwarding and Port Triggering on page 224). Instead of discarding this traffic, you can direct the access point/router to forward the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server. To set up a default DMZ server: 1. Open a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the access point/router network. 2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field. If you are not connected to the access point/router network but to the same network as the access point/router, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access Manage the Firewall and 76 Security User Manual
