Setting MAC Address Control
The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which computers are allowed on the wireless network�
Note:
This list
applies only to wireless computers� This list can be configured so any computer attempting to access the wireless network that is not specified in the
filter list will be denied access� When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client (computer) to which you want to allow
network access� The “Block” feature lets you turn on and off access to the network easily for any computer without having to add and remove the
computer’s MAC address from the list�
Setting up an Allow Access List
1�
Select the “Allow” radio button
(1)
to begin setting up a list of
computers allowed to connect to the wireless network�

the wireless network, then click “<<Add”

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
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
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 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�

Configuring Internal Forwarding Settings
The Virtual Servers function will 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, computers outside
your network (over the Internet) cannot get to them because they cannot
be “seen”� A list of common applications has been provided in case you
need to configure the Virtual Server function for a specific application�
If your application is not listed, you will need to contact the application
vendor to find out which port settings you need�
Choosing an Application
Select your application from the drop-down list� Click “Add”� The
settings will be transferred to the next available space in the screen�
Click “Apply Changes” to save the setting for that application� To remove
an application, select the number of the row that you want to remove
then click “Clear”�
Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server
To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided
for the internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass (use a
comma between multiple ports), select the port type (TCP or UDP),
and click “Apply Changes”� You can only pass one port per internal IP
address� 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�
