WAN Preference

Configure whether the wireless modem router uses only one WAN port exclusively (either
ADSL WAN or Ethernet WAN) or detects automatically the WAN port to use.

Disable Port Scan and DOS Protection

The firewall protects your LAN against port scans and denial of service (DOS) attacks. This
protection should be disabled only in special circumstances.

Default DMZ Server

The default demilitarized zone (DMZ) server feature is helpful when you use online games
and video conferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The wireless modem
router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with
them, but there are other applications that might not function well. In some cases, one local
computer can run the application correctly if that computer's IP address is entered as the
default DMZ server.
Note: For security reasons, you should avoid using the default DMZ server
feature. When a computer is designated as the default DMZ server,
it loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to many
exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the computer can be
used to attack your network.
