Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding Internet If necessary, you can follow the steps to change the status of UPnP. 1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > UPnP and toggle on or off according to your needs. 10. 4. Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host on the local network, it is totally exposed to the internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special applications, such as IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ host. Note: When DMZ 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. I want to: 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 log in normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ host with all ports open. How can I do that? 1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.0.100. 2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 46
