DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU) size, and enable

the router to respond to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port.

 To view or change the WAN settings:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the

network.

2. In the address field of the web browser
