ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N

Assign Bandwidth Profiles

When you set the QoS priority, the WAN bandwidth does not change. You change the WAN
bandwidth that is assigned to a service or application by applying a bandwidth profile to a
LAN WAN inbound or outbound rule. The purpose of bandwidth profiles is to provide a
method for allocating and limiting traffic, thus allocating LAN users sufficient bandwidth while
preventing them from consuming all the bandwidth on your WAN links.
For more information about bandwidth profiles, see Create Bandwidth Profiles on page 171.

Monitoring Tools for Traffic Management

The wireless VPN firewall includes several tools that can be used to monitor the traffic
conditions of the firewall and content-filtering engine and to monitor the users’ access to the
Internet and the types of traffic that they are allowed to have. See Chapter 10, Monitor
System Access and Performance, for a description of these tools.

Change Passwords and Administrator and Guest Settings

The default administrator and default guest passwords for the web management interface are
both password. NETGEAR recommends that you change the password for the administrator
account to a more secure password, and that you configure a separate secure password for
the guest account.

settings, see Configure User Accounts on page 296 and Set User
Login Policies on page 299.
