The Model RT311 router is preconfigured with the three filters shown in Figure
Filter 1: NetBIOS_WAN

Filter 2: NetBIOS_LAN
The NetBIOS_LAN filter is an IP protocol filter used to block NetBIOS name service requests from a local PC to the DNS server of the ISP. These requests are UDP packets having a source port of 137 (NNS) and a destination port of 53 (DNS).
This filter is applied in Menu 3.1 - LAN Port Filter as an Input Filter set.
