DMZ
SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection), also known as dynamic packet
filtering, helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state
per session. It validates that the traffic passing through the
session conforms to the protocol.
If an application has trouble working from behind the router,
you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the
application on that computer.
Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer
to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only recommended
as a last resort.
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want
to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer
obtains its IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make
a static reservation on the Setup > Network Settings page
so that the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change.

A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The DWR-116 offers a firewall type functionality. The Stateful Packet
Inpection (SPI) feature helps prevent cyber attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world for
certain types of applications. If you choose to expose a computer, you can enable DMZ. DMZ is short for Demilitarized Zone.
This option will expose the chosen computer completely to the outside world.
