Configuring Firewall Settings

The access point's firewall is a set of related programs located in the gateway on the WAN side of the
access point. The firewall uses a collection of filters to screen information packets for known types of
system attacks. Some of the access point's filters are continuously enabled, others are configurable.
Use the access point's Firewall screen to enable or disable the configurable firewall filters. Enable each
filter for maximum security. Disable a filter if the corresponding attack does not seem a threat in order
to reduce processor overhead. Use the WLAN Security screens (WEP, Kerberos etc.) as required for
setting user authentication and data encryption parameters.
