Firewall Settings
Firewall – Enable
The router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters, thus
limiting the risk of hacker attacks, and defending against a wide array of common Internet
attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can
configure a specific client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Note: To enable the Firewall settings select Enable and click Save & Apply.
Firewall – DMZ
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from
behind the NAT firewall, then you can open up the firewall restrictions to unrestricted two-way
Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets
going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference
between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular
service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ
re-directs all packets (regardless of services) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN
client/server.
Enable DMZ: Enable/disable DMZ
Public IP Address: The IP address of the WAN port or any other Public IP addresses given
to you by your ISP
Client PC IP Address: Fill-in the IP address of a particular host in your LAN that will
receive all the packets originally going to the WAN port/Public IP address above.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.
Firewall – DoS
The Broadband router's firewall can block common hacker attacks, including Denial of Service,
Ping of Death, Port Scan and Sync Flood. If Internet attacks occur the router can log the events.
Ping of Death: Protection from Ping of Death attacks
Discard Ping From WAN: The router’s WAN port will not respond to any Ping requests
Port Scan: Protects the router from Port Scans.
Sync Flood: Protects the router from Sync Flood attack.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configuration.
Firewall – Access
You can restrict users from accessing certain Internet applications/services (e.g. Internet
websites, email, FTP etc.). Access Control allows users to define the traffic type permitted in your
LAN. You can control which PC client can have access to these services.
Deny: If you select “Deny” then all clients will be allowed to access Internet accept for
the clients in the list below.
Allow: If you select “Allow” then all clients will be denied to access Internet accept for
the PCs in the list below.
Filter client PC by MAC: Check “Enable MAC Filtering” to enable MAC Filtering.
Add PC: Fill in “Client PC MAC Address” and “Comment” of the PC that is allowed to
access the Internet, and then click “Add”. If you find any typo before adding it and want
to retype again, just click "Reset" and the fields will be cleared.
Remove PC: If you want to remove some PC from the "MAC Filtering Table", select the
PC you want to remove in the table and then click "Delete Selected". If you want to
remove all PCs from the table, just click the "Delete All" button. If you want to clear the
selection and re-select again, just click “Reset”.
Filter client PCs by IP: Fill in “IP Filtering Table” to filter PC clients by IP.
Add PC: You can click Add PC to add an access control rule for users by IP addresses.
Remove PC: If you want to remove some PCs from the "IP Filtering Table", select the PC
you want to remove in the table and then click “Delete Selected". If you want to remove
all PCs from the table, just click the "Delete All" button.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configuration.
Toolbox – Remote Access
The remote management function allows you to designate a host in the Internet the ability to
configure the Broadband router from a remote site. Enter the designated host IP Address in the
Host IP Address field.
Method: Choose between ‘All Hosts’ or ‘Specific Host’. If ‘All Hosts’ is chosen this means
anyone can access the router’s web-based configuration from a remote location,
providing they know the password. If ‘Specific Host’ is chosen, you need to enter the IP
address of the host on the Internet that will have management/configuration access to
the Broadband router from a remote site.
Port: The port number of the remote management web interface.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configuration.
