To turn the Firewall back on, select <Enable Firewall>
4.2 Disconnect from the Halo
To disconnect from the Halo select <Disable WiFi Extender>
Notice that the Firewall is turned back on automatically to protect you from runaway
airtime charges.
CAUTION: It is important to <Disable WiFi Extender> when the external WiFi network
is no longer available and you want to use your satellite device. Failure to Disable will
prevent a successful satellite connection as the Optimizer continues to look for the
external WiFi network.
NOTE: An alternate method of disconnecting from the Halo is to cycle power to
Optimizer or Reboot the Optimizer. This will also restore the Firewall Status to ON.
