Backup / Restore
These functions allow you to save and backup your router’s current settings to a file on your PC, or
to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings,
knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is advisable to backup your
router’s settings before making any significant changes to your router’s configuration.
Press
Backup
to select where on your local PC to save the settings file. You may also change the
name of the file when saving if you wish to keep multiple backups.
Press
Browse
to select a file from your PC to restore. You should only restore settings files that
have been generated by the Backup function, and that were created when using the
current
version
of the router’s firmware.
Settings files saved to your PC should not be manually
edited in any way.
After selecting the settings file you wish to use, pressing
Restore
will load those settings into the
router.

Edit
existing users and
Create
new users who are able to access the device’s
configuration interface. Once you have clicked on

you are shown the following options:
You can change the user’s
password
, whether their account is active and
Valid
, as well as add a
comment to each user account. These options are the same when creating a user account, with

When using Virtual Servers your PCs will be exposed to the degree
specified in your Virtual Server settings provided the ports specified are
opened in your firewall packet filter settings.
Firewall and Access Control
Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from
your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT
(Network Address Translation. Please see the
WAN
configuration section for more details on NAT) the
router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, as all PCs on your LAN will use private IP addresses that
cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
Firewall
: Prevents access from outside your network. The router provides three levels of security
support:
NAT natural firewall
: This masks LAN users’ IP addresses which are invisible to outside users on the
Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural
firewall is on when NAT function is enabled.
Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings)
: Inbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent
unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the Internet.
Intrusion Detection
: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent and log malicious attacks.
Access Control
: Prevents access from PCs on your local network:
Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings)
: Outbound direction of Packet Filter rules to prevent
unauthorized computers or applications accessing the Internet.
URL Filter
: To block PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.
