Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router
The SECURITY Tab - FIREWALL
The FIREWALL screen offers a firewall and filters that block specific Internet data types.
Firewall
Firewall Protection. A firewall enhances network security and uses Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) for more
detailed review of data packets entering your network. Select Enable to use a firewall, or Disable to disable it.
Block WAN Request
Block WAN Requests. When enabled, this feature keeps your network from being “pinged,” or detected, by other
Internet users. It also hides your network ports. Both make it more difficult for outside users to enter your
network. Click in the box to block anonymous internet requests.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click SAVE SETTINGS to save the changes, or click
CANCEL CHANGES to clear all fields and start over.
