Router User’s Guide Monitoring Network Health
Snooze
The snooze feature allows you to temporarily disable the firewall for a set amount of time so outside
support personnel can access your Router or network or so you can run an application that conflicts with
the firewall. Note: Important! This function is recommended for use only when you require this special
level of unrestricted access as it leaves your Router and network exposed to the Internet with no firewall
protection.
To enable and configure snooze control:
1. Select Setup>Firewall>Snooze from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the
“Firewall Snooze Control” window.
2. Select one of the following:
• Disable Snooze

long the firewall should be disabled.

snooze session. Be sure to specify the additional amount of time (minutes) the firewall should be
disabled.
