Applications and Gaming > DMZ
The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be
exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose
service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.
DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to
one PC. The Port Range Forwarding feature is more secure
because it only opens the ports you want to have opened,
while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer,
exposing the computer to the Internet.

DMZ
Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP
client function disabled and should have a new static IP
address assigned to it because its IP address may change
when using the DHCP function.
Enabled/Disabled To disable DMZ hosting, select
Disabled. To expose one PC, select Enabled. Then
configure the following settings:
Source IP Address If you want any IP address to be the
source, select Any IP Address. If you want to specify an IP
address or range of IP addresses as the designated source,
select and complete the IP address range fields.
Destination If you want to specify the DMZ host by IP
address, select IP Address and enter the IP address in
the field provided. If you want to specify the DMZ host
by MAC address, select MAC Address and enter the MAC
address in the field provided. To retrieve this information,
click DHCP Client Table.
DMZ > DHCP Client Table
DHCP Client Table
The DHCP Client Table lists computers and other
devices that have been assigned IP addresses by the
Valet. The list can be sorted by Client Name, Interface,
IP Address, MAC Address, and Expired Time (how
much time is left for the current IP address). To select
a DHCP client, click Select. To retrieve the most up-
to-date information, click Refresh. To exit this screen
and return to the DMZ screen, click Close.
Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel
Changes to clear your changes.
Applications and Gaming > QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) ensures better service to
high-priority types of network traffic, which may
involve demanding, real-time applications, such as
videoconferencing.

Wireless
You can configure the WMM Support and No
Acknowledgement settings in this section.
WMM Support If you have other devices that support Wi-
Fi Multimedia (WMM) on your network, keep the default,
Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled.
No Acknowledgement If you want to disable the Valet’s
Acknowledgement feature, so the Valet will not re-send
data if an error occurs, then select Enabled. Otherwise,
keep the default, Disabled.
Internet Access Priority
In this section, you can set the bandwidth priority for a
variety of applications and devices. There are four levels
priority: High, Medium, Normal, or Low. When you set
priority, do not set all applications to High, because this will
defeat the purpose of allocating the available bandwidth.
If you want to select below normal bandwidth, select Low.
