Manually Configuring your Router

8. In the field named “AP1” (3), type in the MAC address of your secondary access

point. When you have typed in the address, click “Apply Changes”.

9. Bridging is now set up.

Note: It may take up to a minute for the bridged connection to properly establish

itself. In some cases, it may be necessary to restart the access point and the

Router to initiate the bridge.

Firewall

Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide

array of common hacker attacks including:

• IP Spoofing

• Land Attack

• Ping of Death (PoD)

• Denial of Service (DoS)

• IP with zero length

• Smurf Attack

• TCP Null Scan

• SYN flood

• UDP flooding

• Tear Drop Attack

• ICMP defect

• RIP defect

• Fragment flooding

The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack networks.

These ports appear to be “Stealth”, meaning that essentially they do not exist to

a would-be hacker. You can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, it is

recommended that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection

will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is

recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.
