The router's

functions include various security functions for the local network.

You can

◆

enable only selected PCs to access your network (see page 80),

◆

restrict or totally block local users' access to the Internet (see page 81),

◆

exclude certain PCs from the firewall (see page 82).

Activating the firewall

Select the Firewall menu.

◆

Activate the firewall functions in the working area.

◆

Click on APPLY.

The firewall functions are now activated.

Since the firewall has little impact on system performance, we

recommend that you activate it.
