Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network
from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:
IP Spoofing
SYN flood
Land Attack
UDP flooding
Ping of Death (PoD)
Tear Drop Attack
Denial of Service (DoS)
ICMP defect
IP with zero length
RIP defect
Smurf Attack
Fragment flooding
TCP Null Scan
Wireless G Router

The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to
attack networks. These ports appear to be "Stealth", meaning that for
all intents and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You
can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, while disabling the
firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to
hacker attacks, it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.
