Set Up a Default DMZ Server
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing
applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). The cable modem router is
programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications
might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address
for that computer is entered as the default DMZ server.
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ server loses much of the
protection of the firewall and is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server
computer can be used to attack other computers on your network.
The cable modem router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a response
to one of your local computers or a service that you configured in the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page.
Instead of discarding this traffic, you can specify that the cable modem router forwards the traffic to one
computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.
To set up a default DMZ server:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi network.
2.
Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
