Can I set up one of the LAN ports as a DMZ or do I need to use a WAN port and lose the failover/load balancing option?

I believe the second wan port can be either dmz or wan only so yes you either lose the failover or you get dmz not both.

yes you can, simply forward all traffic to static lan ip you want and put a rule of any traffic is permited in or out. this will open all ports to that ip and no firewall will restric it from the router. This one way, there are other ways.

No, this is a simple unmanaged switch, meaning no configuration or management capability - plug and play right out of the box. You need a more sophisticated managed enterprise switch to configure and support features such as link aggregation and VLAN creation.

I haven't really encountered any attempts at DDOS to answer that, but I do know there is a plethora of options for setting up a VPN. There are options within the software (provided you keep it up to date, the original shipped firmware was buggy) to specifically subnet for the VPN based on MAC address and allow the rest to be open. This allows for good control over bandwidth management if you decide not to use the built in bandwidth management software.

I believe it allows you to specific dhcp server and disable wan with the stock firmware. Personally I flashed ddwrt onto the router, let's you do all of that. Quality of the product is high I recommend it.

Both WAN links will be active and the router will asign a WAN to each connection. So each active network connection will be using the link with the best availability at any time.

Yes you should be able to customize 1 of the optional ports for a server, If you don't have any other Ethernet needs plug the server into lan port. standard config 1 lan and 1 wan, but can config usb for mobile broadband modem, and 3 other optional ports. Hope this helps

Hello, it works fine... Mine have been working for 3 years. To do what you want: 1) For example, Connect your internet ethernet to port 5 2) Computer A port 2 and Computer B to port 3 ------- (I am assuming you are connected on port 1) 3) Create 3 VLANs Name, for example where there are the VLANS DATA, Audio , Voip, etc... make yours (Alpha, Beta, Internet) 4) Then go to the specific sections where you can put a check on the ports and: and make sure all have the check in them, except for the ports you dont want to communicate. Done! If you want i can help you via team viewer, My twitter is @RomelSan

Yes, just be sure to give them separate names, like "MyNet-East" and "MyNet-West". I have two of these and set them to static IP addresses in a range not assigned by my router's DHCP host so I can always get at them to check status, update firmware, and so on.

Yes. Plug your existing drop into the WAN port. This will give you 4 connections.( 3 more than what you had)

I found this review:http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30778/96/that seems to indicate that you can use it with a switch -- but only if you configure the bridge with a static IP. Seems like the bridge should request its own IP. In any case, this is probably adequate for my needs.Thanks for the info about the D-Link, although, aren't the WAN/Internet ports on routers 10mb? Maybe that's changed. I do hope someone eventually produces a reasonably-priced bridge with a built-in switch.

No, You can make it in a bridge mode with a different SSID on the same network.

The TZ105 has 4 ports that are assigned to the LAN zone by default. So you could plug your server directly into the firewall if you wish. Likewise each of those 4 ports can also be assigned their own IP address scheme so you could create your own DMZ for accessing the server if you wished.

No you can run the PCs directly to the ethernet switch and plug the access point into an open port configure it and you're all set.

You can create a WAN with the two routers. It is not straight forward to set up but we have done it.

You can, if you map the network drive to the PC that is running the DivX Connected server first. The PC will still need to be on though.

As far as I know, it should. Just run a hard line from the primary router to one of the LAN ports on this unit. Also make sure to shut off DHCP and set the ip address of the unit manually. Also setting the units to use different channels will make using your devices a bit easier. If you're setting this up at home, consider unchecking ip isolation on both units. That shoud get you done.

you can configure it any way you like but the default is port 0 is LAN port 1 is WAN...and the very first thing you want to do is upgrade to the latest firmware
