Manually Configuring your Router

1Wireless channels must match between Router and AP.

2Security settings (WEP) must match between Router and AP.

3If MAC filtering is enabled, user must be sure to add the WLAN MAC address(es) of the Router/AP in order to allow communication with each other.

4If using a network protected by WPA, the SSID on both Access Points must be the same.

Firewall

Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:

IP Spoofing

SYN flood

Land Attack

UDP flooding

• Ping of Death (PoD)

Tear Drop Attack

• Denial of Service (DoS)

ICMP defect

• IP with zero length

RIP defect

Smurf Attack

Fragment flooding

TCP Null Scan

The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack networks. These ports appear to be “Stealth”, meaning that essentially they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.
