  • Page 58 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 59 "only deny listed machines" is selected, any computer with a MAC address listed in the MAC Address List is refused access to the network. Filter Wireless Clients When this is selected, the MAC address filters will be applied to wireless network clients.
  • Page 60 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 61 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...
  • Page 62 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. Whether SPI is enabled or not, the router always tracks TCP connection states and ensures that each TCP packet's flags are valid for the current state.
  • Page 63 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. If any other ingress rule is in place, that will be used instead of sending packets to the DMZ host;...
  • Page 64 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 Basic → Network Settings page so that the IP address of the DMZ computer does not change.
  • Page 65 To achieve multiple VPN pass-through in this case, the IPSec ALG must be enabled. RTSP Allows applications that use Real Time Streaming Protocol to receive streaming media from the internet. QuickTime and Real Player are some of the common applications using this protocol. Windows/MSN Messenger Supports use on LAN computers of Microsoft Windows Messenger (the Internet messaging client that ships with Microsoft Windows) and MSN Messenger.
  • Page 66 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 67 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.
