Make sure that you take appropriate security measures when the Internet Connection
Firewall function is disabled.
When using personal firewall software provided standalone or as part of anti-
virus or network security software:
antivirus scanning and network security software sometimes includes a
function called a personal firewall intended to prevent unauthorised
access by other computers. Depending on the software, the security level
of this function may initially be set to a high level. If this high security
level setting is left enabled, other computers may be unable to access your
computer. This can cause problems such as not being able to connect to
the network when changing the Wireless Broadband Router settings. In
this event, lower the security level to allow the network connection. While
the security level is lowered, pay special attention to security. It is highly
recommended that you return to the original settings after setting up the
Wireless Broadband Router.
Pay special attention to security issues.
For questions about firewall functions, please contact your firewall
software manufacturer.
