Enforcement Level This sets how often ZoneAlarm Pro will check for unauthorized intrusions. More Secure (default setting) enables ZoneAlarm Pro to check frequently. Conserve Bandwidth enables ZoneAlarm Pro to check less frequently; this uses less bandwidth. It is recommended to set the Enforcement Level at the More Secure setting unless there is a decrease in the Router’s performance.

Help

Figure 9-14

Under the Help tab, shown in Figure 9-14, you’ll find links to all of the Utility’s internal support documentation, including the application that upgrades the Router’s firmware.

New firmware versions are posted at www.linksys.com and can be downloaded for free. If the Router can access the Internet already, there’s no need to down- load a newer firmware version, unless that version has a new feature that you want to use. Loading new firmware onto the Router does not enhance the speed or the quality of your connection speed.

See the “IP Filtering” section for directions on how to enable remote firmware upgrades.
