Setting Client IP filters

Your router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, e-mail, or other network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers.

To restrict Internet access to a single computer:

1Open the Firewall > Client IP filters page, then enter the IP address of the computer you want to restrict access to in the IP fields.

2Enter 80 in both the port fields, select Both, then select Block. You can also select Always to block access all of the time.

3Select the day to start on top, the time to start on top, the day to end on the bottom, and the time to stop on the bottom.

4Select Enable, then click Apply Changes. The computer at the IP address you specified will now be blocked from Internet access at the times you specified. Be sure you have selected the correct time zone under Utilities> System Settings> Time Zone.

Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

The DMZ feature lets you specify one computer on your network to be placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is causing problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected from hacker attacks.
