By default, the firewall will allow only those packets to enter that you are likely to need; for example, in response to a request for a web page, or as part of a VoIP call you make. You may want to accept other, specific packets, perhaps to facilitate Internet gaming, or because you want people outside your network to access a server you have set up. You may want to prevent some users from accessing the Internet at all.
To access the V3’s firewall settings, from the Advanced Setup page, click the Firewall button. (If you have exited from the V3 and have forgotten how to establish communication with it, refer to page 15.)
The main Firewall page displays.
Note: If you ever want to disable the advanced firewall, there is an option to do so at the bottom of the page.
