Firewall
Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network
from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:
IP Spoofing
Land Attack
Ping of Death (PoD)
Denial of Service (DoS)
IP with zero length
Smurf Attack
TCP Null Scan
SYN flood
UDP flooding
Tear Drop Attack
ICMP defect
RIP defect
Fragment flooding
The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to
attack networks. These ports appear to be “Stealth”, meaning that
essentially they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You can turn the
firewall function off if needed; however, it is recommended that you
leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection will not
leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is
recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.
