Filters
Filters block specific internal users from accessing the Internet. You can set
up a filter through an IP address or a network Port number.
To Modify Filter Settings
• Enter the IP addresses you wish to filter into the IP address fields. The
users who have these IP addresses will not be able to access the Internet.
• You can also filter users by entering their network port number. Enter the
port numbers you want to filter into the port numbers fields. Users who are
connected to the Router will no longer be able to access any port number
listed there.
Block WAN Request
• By enabling the Block WAN Request feature, you can prevent your network
from being pinged, or detected, by other Internet users. The Block WAN
Request feature also adds another measure of security to your network by
hiding your network ports. Both functions of the Block WAN Request feature
make it more difficult for outside users to work their way into your network.
