Configuring the Firewall

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

from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:

• IP Spoofing

• SYN flood

• Land Attack

• UDP flooding

• Ping of Death (PoD)

• Tear Drop Attack

• Denial of Service (DoS)

• ICMP defect

• IP with zero length

• RIP defect

• Smurf Attack

• Fragment flooding

• TCP Null Scan

The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to

attack networks. These ports appear to be “Stealth”, meaning that for

all intents and purposes, 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.
