Firewall

The wireless gateway provides extensive firewall protec-
tion by restricting connection parameters to limit the risk
of hacker attacks, and defending against a wide array of
common hacker attacks. However, for applications that
require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can
configure a specific client/server as a demilitarized zone.
Firewall Control
You can enable or disable the firewall function in this
option.
Filters
You can use this window to create and apply filters that
can selectively block traffic to pass in and out of your
network according to Protocol Type or Port Number. It
also includes a list of Filters if you have setup (maximum
36 entries).
IP Block
You can use this window to create and apply filters that
can selectively allow traffic to pass in and out of your
network according to the IP addresses. It also includes a
list of Filters if you have setup (maximum 6 entries).
Virtual DMZ
If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet
application properly from behind the NAT firewall, you can
open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access
by defining a virtual DMZ. It also includes a list of DMZ if
you have setup (maximum 6 entries).
