How to set DMZ Host for the Wireless Router (B)

Product line: wireless    question category: function config

Q: When do we need to configure DMZ host:

A：

1. Do not know the port number of some kinds of application servers, and then can’t set port mapping. Such as network cameras, some database software, etc., then you can open the DMZ host.
2. Can’t play some games when the normal operation (e.g. StarCraft) and you can land normally, but can’t field a team, then you can open the DMZ host.
3. Some special sites can not open or can’t operate normally, such as certain online banking can’t be transferred, can‘t enter the verification code, etc., and you can also try to open the DMZ host.

 

As the following picture, I want to do DMZ Host for my IP Camera so that I can visit my IP Camera when I am not at home.

 

 

The steps are as below

1. Connect my IP Camera to my router.

2. Set a static IP which is in the same IP range of the router for your IP Camera (please follow the user guide of your IP Camera to do it or you can refer to how to set a static IP for computer to do that)    How to set a static IP for my computer?

 

3. Login to the management page of the router.

 

4. Click on Advanced settings

 

4. Click Virtual Server, then click on DMZ Host and fill in the IP address your IP Camera, then click OK to save settings.

 

 

5. Reboot the router to active the settings.

 

6. Visit my IP Camera on the internet by typing //22.22.22.16 (WAN IP of my router) in the address bar of the browser.

 

 

Tips: If your Internet Connection Type is PPPoE or DHCP, your WAN IP will change time to time, you’d better do DDNS settings to get a domain name for your WAN IP.
