To configure basic firewall settings for the router, follow these steps:

STEP 2 Configure the basic firewall settings:

•Firewall—Enable this feature to perform deep packet inspection on all the traffic going through the router and drop the packets that do not follow the pre-defined protocol behavior. The default is Enable.

•DoS Protection—When enabled, the router prevents DoS (Denial of Service) attacks coming in from the Internet. DoS attacks consume most of the router’s resources and as a result they can prevent legitimate traffic from passing through the router. The default Is Enable.

•Block WAN Request—When enabled, therouter ignores PINGRequest from the Internet so it seems to be hidden. The default is Enable.

•Remote Management—When enabled, the router allows the web-based utility to be accessed from the Internet. The default is Disable.
