Enabling Enhanced Services

2Wire provides a suite of enhanced services: Web Remote Access, Firewall Monitor, and Parental Controls.
If your service provider offers these enhanced services, links to set them up are available on the gateway
Home page. Following is a brief description of these services.

Web Remote Access

The Web Remote Access enhanced service allows you to access your home computer files from remote
locations using any standard Web browser. Web Remote Access authenticates and encrypts access
between the Web browser and the 2Wire gateway, enabling you to securely access and download important
files or manage other enhanced services such as Parental Controls or Firewall Monitor.
You can optionally define a unique Web Domain Name during setup (for example, http://
myname.accessmyhome.net), making it easy for users that are allowed to access the home network to
manage the gateway when away from the home.
For additional information, please refer to the Web Remote Access User Guide.

Firewall Monitor

The 2Wire Firewall Monitor enhanced service extends the professional-grade firewall capabilities of your
2Wire gateway by continuously assessing threats to your home network. Firewall Monitor allows you to:
• Automatically download updates to your firewall software to protect against new threats.
• Receive on-screen notification to alert you of network attacks.
• Review details about attacks blocked and the source of the attacks.
For additional information, please refer to the Firewall Monitor User Guide.
