Manage NAT Filtering

Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the router processes inbound traffic. Secured NAT
protects computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet but might prevent some Internet games,
point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from working. Open NAT provides a much less
secured firewall but allows almost all Internet applications to work. Secured NAT is the default setting.
To change the default NAT filtering settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
