● If incoming traffic was not routed as a result of the above:

§ If DMZ is enabled, then incoming traffic is routed to the computer that uses the IP

address specified by the DMZ settings.

§ If DMZ is not enabled, the incoming traffic is blocked.

Note: Putting a computer in the DMZ opens all the ports of that computer, and exposes that

computer to various security risks. Use this option only as a last resort — if possible, use other

options instead (for example, port forwarding).

1. Log in to the home page. (See Logging In as an Administrator.)

2. Click Settings > Router > Basic.

3. Next to DMZ Enabled, select On.

4. Click Submit.

Configuring DMZ

Note: DMZ must currently be enabled. (See Enabling DMZ.)

1. Log in to the home page. (See Logging In as an Administrator.)

2. Click Settings > Router > Basic.

3. In the DMZ Address, enter the IP address of the computer that you want exposed to the

Internet. (If you don’t know how to find the IP address, see Finding the IP Address.)

4. Click Submit.
