NAT Forwarding
Note:
When DMZ is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazards. If
DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.
Make the home PC join the internet online game without port
restriction.
For example,
due to some port restriction, when playing the
online games, you can login normally but cannot join a team with
other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ host
with all ports open.
1.
Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example
192.168.0.100.
2.
Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with your TP-Link ID or
the password you set for the router.
3.
Go to
Advanced
>
NAT Forwarding
>
DMZ
and select
Enable
DMZ
.
4.
Enter the IP address 192.168.0.100 in the
DMZ Host IP
Address
filed.
5.
Click
Save
.
The configuration is completed. You’ve set your PC to a DMZ
host and now you can make a team to game with other players.
11. 4. Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by
UPnP
The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows applications or host devices
to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the
corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices on the
local network and the internet can freely communicate with each other thus realizing
the seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you
want to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time
communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.
