Firewall Tab

A firewall helps to protect your home network from unauthorized access. It will also help to manage
authorized access from the Internet to your modem.

The

Enable Web Login from Internet

and the

Enable Ping from Internet

options are by default turned off. This is

because these options allow unknown users to access your computer via the internet, and this is not safe.

You may need to turn these options on if there is a problem with your modem or Internet connection. Turning
these options on will allow Sprint access to your computer to troubleshoot any problems. Remember to enter
the number of the port that is allowed to access your computer if these options are turned on.

Be sure to click

Apply

once you are finished.
