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

will load those settings into the

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.
