6.
Enter a value in the ‘name’ field for the schedule – this name will appear in the
‘Scheduling Rule’ dropdown on the Access Control page when you define the access
control rule. In this example we will call the rule ‘Block 21-23.59’.
7.
Enter a value in the ‘comment’ field for the schedule. This can be any value and will
appear in the table on the Schedule Rule page. In this example we will call the
comment ‘Nine to Midnight’
8.
In the ‘activate time period’ fields you can enter the times you want the schedule rule to
apply. You can use the ‘Every Day’ week day to apply the schedule on every day of the
week, or specify particular days you want the rule to apply. Please ensure that the start
time is earlier than the end time, and 24 hour clock notation is used (8:30 for 08:30am
or 17:50 for 5:50pm for example). If you want to have the schedule apply for the full day
enter a start time of ‘0:00’ and an end time of ’23:59’. In this example we will set the
start time to ’21:00’ (9pm) and end at 23:59 (midnight).
9.
Click Save Settings:
10.
The new schedule rule will appear in the Schedule Rule table:

Click the Add Device Filtering Rule link:
13.
On the Edit Device Filtering Rule page enter a rule description – in this example we
will enter ‘All traffic’
16.
Enter the IP address or range of addresses of the computer or device on your network
you wish to block the URL on. You can block the URL on all computers by entering
‘192.168.1.2 ~ 254’ – In this example we will block the URL on the computer 192.168.1.10
only by entering ‘192.168.1.10 ~ 10’

17.
Select the type of traffic you want to block by ticking the ‘blocking’ box next to the
service name. You can select multiple services to block, or block custom ports in the
‘user define service’ section. In this example we will block ‘TCP’ and ‘UDP’ (i.e. all traffic):
18.
Click on the ‘Scheduling Rule (Ref. Schedule Rule Page)’ dropdown and select the
schedule rule you created in steps 6-8 – in this example ‘Block 21-23:59’
19.
Click Save Settings:
19.
Select the ‘Enable’ option for the ‘Filtering function’ the Access Control page and click
Save Settings:
20.
The access control rule with the schedule rule has now been created. The access control
will only be applied at the scheduled time – in this example 21:00 – 23:59 every day of
the week.
If you want to delete a schedule rule, you must first delete the associated access control
rule on the Access Control page. When the associated access control rule has been
deleted, you will then see a ‘Delete’ link in the Schedule Rule table in the Schedule Rule
page.

INTRUSION DETECTION
You can configure special firewall intrusion detection settings in the Intrusion Detection
admin page. The Intrusion Detection feature includes two key features. Stateful Packet
Inspection (SPI) and Hacker Prevention.
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) limits the access of incoming traffic. By default the SPI
feature is turned on, and all the incoming packets from the Internet will be blocked unless
they are initiated from a device or computer connected to the router. You can configure SPI
settings for a number of different traffic types and disable the SPI, allowing those types of
traffic to automatically be allowed through the router firewall.
In addition you can also configure the ‘Discard Ping to WAN Interface’ setting on this page.
Usually an ICMP ping message from the Internet to your WAN IP address would not generate
a ping response (and would timeout), protecting your router from being visible to potential
hackers. You can disable this setting if you wish to allow your device to respond to ICMP ping
messages.
Please note that disabling the SPI or Discard Ping to WAN Interface options is only
recommended for temporary diagnostic/troubleshooting purposes. Leaving any of these
settings disabled may make your router and local network vulnerable to attack from hackers.
You can access the Intrusion Detection page as follows:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on Firewall in the left hand navigation menu to expand the Firewall menu
4.
Click on Intrusion Detection in the left hand navigation menu:
