Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N Router
Applications & Gaming > Port Triggering
The Applications & Gaming > Port Triggering screen allows
the Router to watch outgoing data for specific port
numbers. The IP address of the computer that sends the
matching data is remembered by the Router, so that when
the requested data returns through the Router, the data is
pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address
and port mapping rules.

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 computer. The Port Forward 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.
