network to be used as a
DMZ
host in the “

click On.
DMZ
hosting is used to support online gaming and Internet conferencing services.
These programs usually require multiple open ports, making the network accessi-
ble from the Internet.

outside of the Router’s network. Access to network resources is unavailable while
DMZ
hosting is active. Actiontec recommends activating
DMZ
hosting only as long
as necessary.
