Configuring Firewall Settings
Firewall Security Level
Select the level of firewall security level here, by clicking in the appropriate radio
button. "None" provides no firewall security, while "Low, " "Medium, " and "High"
provide different levels of security, as displayed in the Firewall table in the lower
part of the screen. Additionally, after choosing a level of firewall security, you can
manually allow (by clicking in a check box to generate a check mark) or deny (by
clicking in a check box to delete a check mark) selected Internet services listed in
the Firewall table.

Port Forwarding

Activating "Port Forwarding" allows the network to be exposed to the Internet in
certain limited and controlled ways, enabling some applications to work from the
local network (game, voice, and chat applications, for example), as well as allowing
Internet access to servers in the local network. Click Port Forwarding from any
Firewall screen to generate the "Port Forwarding" screen. This screen allows you
to configure the port forwarding settings of the Router. If you make changes in this
screen, click Apply at the bottom of the screen to save them.
