Configuring Firewall Access Rules

The default access rules should be sufficient for most small businesses. However, you can use the Firewall > Access Rules page to modify or add new access rules for your network. Access rules determine which traffic is allowed to pass through the router’s firewall. Optionally, you can set a schedule to activate or deactivate each access rule for specified days and times.

To open this page: Click Firewall > Access Rules in the navigation tree.
