Triggering
The
Port Range Triggering
screen allows the Router to
watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The IP
address of the computer that sends the matching data is
remembered by the Router, so that when the requested
data returns through the Router, the data is pulled back
to the proper computer by way of IP address and port
mapping rules.

The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be

DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to
one computer. The Port Range Forwarding feature is more
secure because it only opens the ports you want to have
opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one
computer, exposing the computer to the Internet.
Applications and Gaming > DMZ
