Blocking Access to Internet Services

The wireless router allows you to block computers on your network from using Internet
services that you specify. This is called service blocking or port filtering. Services are
performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For example, Web servers
serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts serve data
about other players' moves. When a computer on your network requests a service from a
server computer on the Internet, it is identified by a service number or port number. This
number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a
packet with destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request.
