If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a

firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select

Factory Default

Settings

to reset to factory default settings.

You may also reset your router to factory settings by holding the small Reset pinhole button

more than 6 seconds on the back of your router.

Caution: After pressing the RESET button for more than 6 seconds and release it, the

system will be restarted with the factory setting.

5.3.3.5 User Management

In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router’s configuration interface, it requires

all users to login with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their

own password.

You are able to

Edit

existing users and

Add

new users who are able to access the device’s

configuration interface. Once you have clicked

Edit

on the account you want to edit

,

the

information of the account will be displayed above. Just go ahead and change the

password.

You can change the user’s

password

, whether their account is active and

Valid

. These

options are the same when creating a user account, with the exception that once created

you cannot change the username. You cannot delete the default admin account; however

you can delete any other created accounts by clicking ticking the box under

Delete

and

then press the

Edit/Delete

button.

You are strongly advised to change the password on the default “

admin

” account when you

receive your router, and any time you reset your configuration to Factory Defaults.

When using Virtual Servers (port mapping) your PCs are exposed to the

ports specified opened in your firewall packet filter settings.

5.3.4 Firewall

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) the router acts as a “natural” Internet

firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly

accessed from the Internet. See the

WAN

configuration section for more details on NAT.

Firewall

: Prevents access from outside your network.

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 the NAT function is enabled.

prevent unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the

Internet.

Intrusion Detection

: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent, and log malicious

attacks.

MAC Filter rules

: Prevents unauthorized computers accessing the Internet.

URL Filter

: Blocks PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.

A detailed explanation of each of the following five items appears in the

Firewall

section

below:

Packet Filter

,

MAC Address Filter, Intrusion detection, Block WAN PING

and

URL Filter.

5.3.4.1 Packet Filter

Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external

users (

IP address

) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (

Port

number

) to /from Internet. This configuration program allows you to set up to 6 different

filter rules for different users based on their IP addresses or their network Port number. The

relationship among all filters is

“or”

operation, which means that the router checks these

different filter rules one by one, starting from the first rule. As long as one of the rules is

satisfied, the specified action will be taken.

Rule Name:

Users-define description to identify this entry. The maximum name length

is 32 characters, and then can choose application that they want from listbox.

Internal IP Address / External IP Address:

This is the Address-Filter used to allow or

block traffic to/from particular IP address(es). Input the range you want to filter out. If you

leave empty or 0.0.0.0, it means any IP address.

Protocol:

Specify the packet type (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.) that the rule applies to.

Select

TCP

if you wish to search for the connection-based application service on the

remote server using the port number. Or select

UDP

if you want to search for the

connectionless application service on the remote server using the port number.

Action:

If a packet matches this filter rule,

Forward (allows the packets to pass)

or

Drop (disallow the packets to pass)

this packet.

Internal Port:

This Port or Port Range defines the ports allowed to be used by the

Remote/WAN to connect to the application. Default is set from range

0 ~ 65535.

It is

recommended that this option be configured by an advanced user.

External Port:

This is the Port or Port Range that defines the application.

Direction:

Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets.

Time Schedule:

It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your

prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to

Time Schedule

section.

Log:

Choose “log” if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to a packet.

Add:

Click this button to add a new packet filter rule and the added rule will appear at

the bottom table.

Edit:

Check the Rule No. you wish to edit, and then click “Edit”.

Delete:

Check the Rule No. you wish to delete, and then click “Delete”.

5.3.4.2 MAC Filter

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each

PC on your network’s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card). Using your

router’s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure to block specific machines from

accessing your LAN.

There are no pre-defined MAC address filter rules; you can add the filter rules to meet your

requirements.

MAC Address:

Enter the MAC addresses you wish to manage.

Time Schedule:

It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your

prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to

Time Schedule

section.

If the DHCP server option is enabled, you must be very careful in

assigning IP addresses of a filtered private IP range to avoid conflicts

because you do not know which PC in the LAN is assigned which IP

address. The easiest and safest way is that the filtered IP address is

assigned to a specific PC that is not allowed to access an outside resource

such as the Internet. You configure the filtered IP address manually for this

PC, but it stays in the same subnet with the router.
