• Disable SIP ALG. Some VoIP applications do not work well with the SIP ALG. Selecting

this check box to turn off the SIP ALG helps your VoIP devices create and accept calls

through the router.

Default DMZ Server

The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and

videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation

(NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work

correctly with them, but other applications 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.

WARNING:

DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the

default DMZ server loses firewall protection from exploits on the

Internet. Once compromised, the DMZ server computer attacks

other computers on your network.

Incoming traffic from the Internet gets discarded by the router unless the traffic is a response

to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port

Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it

forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.

 To set up a default DMZ server:

1. On the

WAN Setup screen, select the Default DMZ Server check box.

2. T

ype the IP address.

3. Click App

Change the MTU Size

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits.

When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets

travel through many devices along the way. If any device in the data path has a lower MTU

setting than the other devices, the data packets have to be split or “fragmented” to

accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.

The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is of

ten just the default value, and changing

the value might fix one problem but cause another. Leave MTU unchanged unless one of

these situations occurs:

support of either the ISP or NETGEAR recommends changing the MTU setting. These

web-based applications might require an MTU change:
