Manage The Wan Security Settings - NETGEAR C6250 User Manual

Manage the WAN Security Settings

The WAN security settings include port scan protection and denial of service (DoS)
protection, which can protect your LAN against attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping
of Death, and many others. By default, DoS protection is disabled and a port scan is rejected.
You can also enable the modem router to respond to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port. This
feature allows your modem router to be discovered. Enable this feature only as a diagnostic
tool or if a specific reason exists.
To change the default WAN security settings:

1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Type admin for the user name and type your password.
If you did not yet personalize your password, type password for the password.
4. Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
6. View or change the security settings.
