Change the settings for these options, as required:
a
Response to Ping from WAN
—Ping is a network utility that
allows a user to see if a target host is accessible. Setting this
option to
Deny
can prevent intruders from accessing the
current status of your Wireless Router. Adaptec recommends
that you set this option to
Deny
.
b
Web Management from WAN
—Set this option to
Deny
unless your network Administrator will be configuring your
Wireless Router from the Internet. Adaptec recommends
that you set this option to
Deny
to minimize security risks.
c
Block Client in LAN
—Set this option to
Enable
if you want
to prevent one or more of your network stations from
accessing the Internet.
After you click Enable, you are asked to enter the IP address
for the client (network station) you want to block. You can
enter a range of IP addresses, if you are blocking more than
one network station.
This setting works with both dynamic and static IP
addresses.
