The Miscellaneous Page
The Miscellaneous Page lets you set up and enable a DMZ Host on your network, and
enable UPnP settings for software and devices. In this way, specific ports can open for
incoming traffic that must pass through your firewall. You can also enable IGMP on
this page in the unlikely event that your service provider is using it.
Set IP Address of DMZ Host
A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the protection of the
firewall. It allows a computer or gaming system to be exposed to
unrestricted two-way communication for Internet games, video conferencing,
Internet telephony and other special applications. Use caution when using a
DMZ because your firewall no longer protects the computer that is set up as
a DMZ.
If you do not know the IP address of the computer or gaming system you
can look it up by selecting Basic Settings > DHCP Server, then clicking on Client
List. To make this virtual server permanent, then you should set up a fixed
mapping to your computer or gaming device on the DHCP Server page. Doing
this ensures that your computer will keep the same IP address.
UPnP setting
This feature is enabled by default. Games and applications that are UPnP
compatible will automatically open ports for you on your router.
