Configuring the 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 for all intents and purposes, 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.
