Network security

This chapter shows how to set up security defence for your local area network.

Setting up access right to WL-600g

To protect your wired and wireless LAN, we recommend setting up access protection

so as to prevent WL-600g from being viewed or modified by unauthenticated users.

Service restriction

WL-600g provides a Service Control List (SCL) that can enable or disable services

which are used to access the router configuration interface. You can choose allowing

HTTP, ICMP from WAN, or allowing HTTP from LAN. After configuration is complete,

click

Save/Apply to activate the settings.

IP address restriction

To protect the router from being accessed by unauthenticated user in your LAN, you can

restrict the access right to the hosts with certain IP addresses. Click

Management ->

Access Control -> IP Addresses to setup the IP address for the authenticated network

supervisors.

Before setting up the IP address restriction, make sure addresses of

authenticated hosts are static.
