DMZ Host
The default DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) host feature is helpful when you are using some online games and
videoconferencing applications that are not compatible with NAT (Network Address Translation).
DMZ Host IP Address: The IP Address of the device for which the router’s firewall will be disabled. Be sure to assign a
static IP Address to that device. The DMZ host should be connected to a LAN port of the device. Be sure to assign a
static IP address to that DMZ host.
