Tools for Traffic Management

The ProSafe Quad WAN Gigabit Firewall includes several tools that can be used to monitor the
traffic conditions of the firewall and control who has access to the Internet and the types of traffic
they are allowed to have. See

Administration

You can change the administrator and guest passwords and settings, configure an SNMP manager,
backup settings and upgrade firmware, and enable remote management. Administrator access is
read/write and guest access is read-only.

Changing Passwords and Settings

The default passwords for the firewall's Web Configuration Manager is password. Netgear
recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. You can also configure a
separate password for guests.
To modify User or Admin settings:
1. Select Administration > Set Password from the main menu. The Set Password screen will
display.
2. Select the Settings you wish to edit by checking either the Edit Admin Settings or Edit Guest
Settings radio box.
3. Change the password by first entering the old password, and then entering the new password
twice.
4. Click Apply to save your settings or Cancel to return to your previous settings.
5. Change the Idle Logout Time field to the number of minutes you require. The default is 5
minutes.
6. Click Apply to save this setting..
Note: If you make the administrator login time-out value too large, you will have to
wait a long time before you are able to log back into the router if your previous
login was disrupted (i.e., you did not click Logout on the Main Menu bar to
log out).
