Set up a default DMZ server
A default DMZ server is helpful when you are using some Internet services and
videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation
(NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work
correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one
local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is
entered as the default DMZ server.
Warning: DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ
server loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to exploits from the
Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other
computers on your network.
The router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a
response to one of your local computers or a service or application for which you set
up a port forwarding or port triggering rule (see Manage Port Forwarding and Port
Triggering Traffic Rules on page 135). Instead of discarding this traffic, you can direct
the router to forward the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is
called the default DMZ server.
To set up a default DMZ server:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2.
Enter https://www.routerlogin.net.
Your browser might display a security message, which you can ignore. For more
information, see Log in to the local browser interface on page 16.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. If you didn’t change the password, enter password. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4.
Select ADVANCED > Firewall > Basic Setup.
The Basic Setup page displays.
5.
Select the Default DMZ Server check box.
