Changing firewall settings
A Firewall helps protect your Model MG8702 and the devices attached
to it from harm from outsiders connecting via the Internet. Model
MG8702 comes with reasonable firewall settings. The firewall allows all
normal traffic to pass, but protects against well-known attacks.
Normally you just leave the firewall settings in place. If you want to
change them, you go to the Protection
Firewall section of the
Configuration Manager. First log into the Configuration Manager as
described in chapter 6. In summary, you type 192.168.0.1 in the address
bar of your browser, go to that address, enter the Username admin and
your MG8702’s unique password, then click the Login button.
This will bring you to the Basic Status and Settings page. Click the
Advanced button in the upper right. This will bring you to the Status
Software page. Select the Protection & Parental Control menu item,
and then select the Firewall submenu.
