Screen Descriptions
Firewall
– Set up a firewall for this router to block specific incoming or outgoing traffic by
IP address and/or ports.
DMZ
– Set up a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) to allow computers behind the router firewall to
be accessible to Internet traffic. Typically, your DMZ would contain Web servers and FTP
servers.
You can set up a single computer on your network outside of the router. If you have a
computer that cannot run Internet applications successfully from behind the router, you can
place the computer into the DMZ for unrestricted Internet access.
Note:
Firewall settings and Port Forwarding Rules supersede the configured
DMZ host.
MAC Filter
– Control network access based on the MAC address of the client device. The
MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer.
Parental Controls
– Control Internet access to specific websites and access periods. See
“Setting Up Parental Controls” on page 56.
Important:
Because of serious security concerns, use this option only as a last resort.
