2.5 Firewall
The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of
hacker attack, and defending against a wide array of common Internet attacks. However, for applications that require
unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
