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

Select the “Allow” radio button

(1)

to begin setting up a list of

computers allowed to connect to the wireless network�

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�

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

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�
