WAN Setup

The WAN Setup screen lets you configure a DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the
maximum transmit unit (MTU) size, and enable the router to respond to a ping on the WAN
(Internet) port.
To view or change the WAN settings:

1. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
2. Specify the following settings:
• Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. DoS protection protects your LAN against
denial of service attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, Teardrop
Attack, UDP Flood, ARP Attack, Spoofing ICMP, Null Scan, and many others. This
feature should be disabled only in special circumstances.
• Default DMZ Server. This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing online
games or videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature because it makes the
firewall security less effective. See the following section,
• Respond to Ping on Internet Port. If you want the router to respond to a ping from
the Internet, select this check box. Use this feature only as a diagnostic tool because
