Use Network Address Translation
(Available in Wireless Routing Client and Gateway modes)
NAT (Network Address Translation) allows multiple PCs in a private
network to share a single public IP address by using different TCP ports
to identify requests coming from different PCs, and is enabled by
default. Computers in the private LAN behind the access point will not
be directly accessible from the Internet. However, employing virtual
servers allows the hosting of Internet servers by using IP/ Port Forwarding
and De-Militarized Zone hosting.
