Firewall - Edimax BR6216MG User Manual

2.7 Firewall

The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters,
thus limiting the risk of hacker attack, and defending against a wide array of common Internet
attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can
configure a specific client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Note: To enable the Firewall settings select Enable and click Apply
