The Status screen allows you to monitor the current status of your router. You can use the
Status page to monitor the connection status of Applications Settings.
By activating the port range forwarding function, remote users can access the local network
via the public IP address. Users can assign a specific external port range to a local server.
Furthermore, users can specify an internal port range associated in a port range forwarding
rule. When VRT-420N receives an external request to access any one of the configured
external ports, it will redirect the request to the corresponding internal server and change its
destination port to one of the internal ports specified. Therefore, if users do not wish for
destination port to be changed for a request, the internal port range should be left empty.
By enabling DMZ Host Function, you can set up a DMZ host at a particular computer
exposed to the Internet. In this way, some applications, especially online games (if the traffic
port numbers of the applications are always changing), can be easily accessed.
