NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES

Configuring Client Services

The Wireless Barricade includes a broad range of client services, including firewall protection, network address translation, virtual server, connection support for special applications, and restricted Internet access for specified clients. You can configure these functions using the Setup Wizard by clicking “Enter” at the bottom of the Advanced Settings screen, or by selecting specific items from the menu on the left of the screen.

Firewall Protection

The Wireless Barricade’s firewall can block common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network users.
