Only one computer can use DMZ at a time. Please note that enabling
DMZ removes the protection of the firewall, which exposes the computer
to intrusion.

In some circumstances with gaming, enabling DMZ may help the
game contact the maximum number of servers, which can improve ping
times. Once the game connects to the game server, disable DMZ to ensure
proper firewall protection.
Remote Administrator Host
In general, only you, or members of your network, should access the
web configuration interface of the Broadband Router. In some
circumstances though, you may want to have access to the Broadband
Router web interface to change settings while you are away from your
network. The Remote Administrator Host field allows you to input the IP
address of one remote computer so that it can access the web configuration
interface to perform administrative tasks. Note: If you specify an IP
address of 0.0.0.0 and enable Remote Administration, any computer can
connect to the Broadband Router from outside of your network. Also,
when this feature is enabled, the web port will be shifted to port 88. This is
a security precaution to prevent an indiscriminate port scan, which could
find the web configuration interface and hack into your connection. In
order for the remote administrator to access the web configuration interface,
the user must input the IP address that has been given to the WAN port of
the Broadband Router (found in the Device Information screen). For
example: HTTP://192.168.51.23:88
