Manually Configuring your Router
1
Wireless channels must match between Router and AP.
2
Security settings (WEP) must match between Router and AP.
3
If MAC filtering is enabled, user must be sure to add the WLAN MAC
address(es) of the Router/AP in order to allow communication with each
other.
4
If using a network protected by WPA, the SSID on both Access Points
must be the same.
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.

Virtual Servers
Virtual servers allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services such
as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications,
through your Router to your internal network. Since your internal
computers are protected by a firewall, machines from the Internet cannot
get to them because they cannot be “seen”. If you need to configure the
virtual server function for a specific application, you will need to contact
the application vendor to find out which port settings you need. You can
manually input this port information into the Router.
Choosing an Application
A list of popular applications has been included to choose from. Click
on “Select a Service” then select your application from the drop-down
list. The settings will be transferred to the first row available. Click
“Add” to save the setting for that application.
Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server
To manually enter settings, click on “Custom Server” and enter a
name for the server. Enter the Server IP address in the space provided
for the internal machine and the port(s) required to pass. Then select
the protocol type (TCP or UDP), and then click “Add”.
Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk. You can enable
and disable settings very quickly. It is recommended that you disable
the settings when you are not using a specific application.
