Configuring Basic Settings
The Firewall > Basic Settings window displays the firewall-specific settings of the
router.
To configure basic firewall settings for the router, follow these steps:
STEP 1 Click Firewall > Basic Settings.
STEP 2 Configure the basic firewall settings:
Firewall—Enable this feature to perform deep packet inspection on all the
traffic going through the router and drop the packets that do not follow the
pre-defined protocol behavior. The default is Enable.
DoS Protection—When enabled, the router prevents DoS (Denial of
Service) attacks coming in from the Internet. DoS attacks consume most of
the router’s resources and as a result they can prevent legitimate traffic from
passing through the router. The default Is Enable.
Block WAN Request—When enabled, the router ignores PING Request from
the Internet so it seems to be hidden. The default is Enable.
Remote Management—When enabled, the router allows the web-based
utility to be accessed from the Internet. The default is Disable.
