A range of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available for secure Internet computing. There are two USB 3.0 ports on the side panel of your NBG6816. You can connect USB (version 2.0 or lower) memory sticks, USB hard drives, or USB devices for file sharing. The NBG6816 automatically detects the USB devices.
If you forget your password, you will have to reset the NBG6816 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG6816.
