Selecting
DMZ
Hosting in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen gener-
ates the “
DMZ

DMZ
hosting, enter the
IP

DMZ

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.
DMZ
hosting symbolically places the

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