Use Network Address Translation

(Available in Wireless Routing Client and Gateway modes)

NAT (Network Address Translation) allows multiple PCs in a private

network to share a single public IP address by using different TCP ports

to identify requests coming from different PCs, and is enabled by

default. Computers in the private LAN behind the access point will not

be directly accessible from the Internet. However, employing virtual

servers allows the hosting of Internet servers by using IP/ Port Forwarding

and De-Militarized Zone hosting.
