Manage NAT filtering

Network Address Translation (NAT) filtering determines how the router processes
inbound traffic. Secured NAT filtering blocks more unsolicited traffic from the Internet
but might prevent some online games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia
applications from working. Open NAT filtering provides a less secured firewall but allows
almost all Internet applications to work. Secured NAT filtering is the default setting.
To change the default NAT filtering settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.

• Secured: Blocks more unsolicited traffic from the Internet but might prevent some

functioning. This is the default setting.
• Open: Provides a less secured firewall but allows almost all Internet applications
to function.
