Security Mode Configuration:
Maximum Security: All incoming requests from the Internet are
blocked by default and the router allows limited Internet destined
traffic from leaving the local network. This mode is the strongest level
of security. All traffic from the Internet is blocked from reaching the
local network, except what is allowed via port forwarding policies that
apply to the local network. A limited set of commonly used services are
permitted to be accessed from the local network such as web traffic
(HTTP / HTTPS) or file transfer (FTP).
Typical Security: All incoming requests from the Internet are still
blocked by default but the computers on the local network can access
the Internet without restrictions. This is the default and generally most
appropriate security setting for home networks. All traffic from the
Internet is blocked from reaching the local network, thus blocking
unwanted intrusion from the outside. At the same time local network
users are given unrestricted access to the Internet regardless of service
or application.
No Security: This setting opens the firewall for all traffic to and from
the Internet. This mode provides unrestricted access from the local
network to the Internet and vice-versa. It is not recommended to set
the DWR-966 in this mode without additional parental controls as it
makes the local network vulnerable to attack from the Internet.
