  • Page 39 Advanced_MAC Address Filter The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on the unique MAC addresses of their network adapter(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network. A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the network adapter.
  • Page 40 Filter Settings Mode When "only allow listed machines" is selected, only computers with MAC addresses listed in the MAC Address List are granted network access. When "only deny listed machines" is selected, any computer with a MAC address listed in the MAC Address List is refused access to the network.
  • Page 41 Advanced_Firewall The router provides a tight firewall by virtue of the way NAT works. Unless you configure the router to the contrary, the NAT does not respond to unsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making your LAN invisible to Internet cyber attackers. However, some network applications cannot run with a tight firewall.
  • Page 42 Firewall Settings Enable SPI SPI ("stateful packet inspection" also known as "dynamic packet filtering") helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per session. It validates that the traffic passing through that session conforms to the protocol. When the protocol is TCP, SPI checks that packet sequence numbers are within the valid range for the session, discarding those packets that do not have valid sequence numbers.
  • Page 43 DMZ Host DMZ means "Demilitarized Zone." If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer. When a LAN host is configured as a DMZ host, it becomes the destination for all incoming packets that do not match some other incoming session or rule.
  • Page 44 DMZ IP Address Specify the LAN IP address of the LAN computer that you want to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains its address automatically using DHCP, then you may want to make a static reservation on the that the IP address of the DMZ computer does not change.
  • Page 45 Windows/MSN Messenger Supports use on LAN computers of Microsoft Windows Messenger (the Internet messaging client that ships with Microsoft Windows) and MSN Messenger. The SIP ALG must also be enabled when the Windows Messenger ALG is enabled. Allows FTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT. Refer to the Advanced →...
  • Page 46 Advanced_Inbound Filter When you use the Virtual Server, Gaming, or Remote Administration features to open specific ports to traffic from the Internet, you could be increasing the exposure of your LAN to cyber attacks from the Internet. In these cases, you can use Inbound Filters to limit that exposure by specifying the IP addresses of internet hosts that you trust to access your LAN through the ports that you have opened.
  • Page 47 Add/Edit Inbound Filter Rule Here you can add entries to the Inbound Filter Rules List below, or edit existing entries. Name Enter a name for the rule that is meaningful to you. Action The rule can either Allow or Deny messages. Source IP Range Define the ranges of Internet addresses this rule applies to.
