installed to prevent hackers from gaining access.
Most routers I have seen include this feature and it has is uses, but it
must be used with extreme caution!

If you are that worried about it, why not put the Playstation in your
DMZ and firewall everything else reaching your LAN? Your kid would get
better gameplay that way.
I've heard the word "DMZ" for years, but I really don't know what it is.
So, AFAIK, I don't even *have* a DMZ.
My router is set up like most home routers, which is to say the only
thing that is not default is the SSID login/password and admin login/password.
