Firewall Settings
Firewalls are configured to allow “desired” traffic in and to keep “undesired” traffic out. The BRIDGE access point is
also qualified for firewall management. Acting as a firewall, the Mesh unit will filter your undesired data and proto-
cols, only delivering the “wanted” data to your PC. Click on the firewall link to display Firewall Management inter-
face.
