Set Up a Default DMZ Server
WARNING:
For security reasons, you should avoid using the default DMZ
server feature. When a computer is designated as the default DMZ
server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall and is
exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the
computer can be used to attack your network.
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using applications that are
incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications
and to work correctly with them, but others might not function well. In some cases, one local
computer can run the application correctly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the
default DMZ server.
Your router normally discards incoming traffic from the Internet unless the traffic is a
re
sponse to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port
Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, forward it to one
computer on your network dedicated as the default DMZ server.
 To assign a computer or server to be a default DMZ server:
1. Sign in to
the web user interface.
2. From the main menu, select Route
r Settings > Advanced > Firewall > Miscellaneous.
3. Select Defaul
t DMZ Server.
4. Ente
r the IP address for that server.
5. Click App
