Firewall Protection
The Wireless Barricade Plus’ firewall can provide the access control of
connected client PCs, 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 setting it enabled to protect your
network users by selecting “Enable” on the screen.
Note: When you select the “Enable” radio button of the “Enable
or disable Firewall module function” field, be sure to press
the “APPLY” button.
