How do I enable the DMZ on my DSL-2877AL router?
DMZ should only be used if you have a computer/device that cannot run Internet applications properly from behind the router.
Note: By enabling the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) feature, you are allowing the router to forward all incoming traffic from the internet to the device specified, virtually disabling the routers “firewall protection”. This may expose the device to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.
Step 1: Open your Internet browser and enter http://dlinkrouter, http://dlinkrouter.local, or http://192.168.1.1 into the address bar.
Enter your login information. If you have not changed the default settings, the
– Username field is Admin and
– Password field should Admin. Click Login.
Step 2: Click on the Advanced Tab at the top and then click DMZ on the left side as shown.
Step 3: Check Enable DMZ.
– Ensure the correct WAN Interface is selected.
– Enter the desired DMZ Host IP Address of the LAN device you want to place in the DMZ.
Click Apply as shown.
Ensure DMZ Client Device Information is currently active and saved in the DMZ Table.
Check on Remove and click Remove Selected to remove the selected rule in the DMZ Table when Local IP Address has been changed or is no longer available.
