Protecting Your Wireless

Network

After you have successfully connected the SBG7682 and your wireless devices, you should configure the

gateway to protect your wireless network from unwanted and unauthorized access. Use the SVG6x82

web-based configuration manager to change various default configuration settings on the SVG6x82.

Note

: If your gateway was obtained as part of a service package, your service provider may require

alternative configuration methods. If you cannot access any of the HTML pages in the SVG6x82 Web

Manager, please contact your service provider for assistance.

•

Use phrases instead of names that may be easier for you to remember

•

Use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols

•

Continue to change your admin password on a regular basis

Setting Up the Firewall

You can use the Firewall pages to configure the SVG6x82 firewall filters and firewall alert notifications on

your wireless network. The firewall protects the SVG6x82 LAN from undesired attacks and other

intrusions from the Internet.

Figure 10 – Firewall Main Page

The firewall:

•

Maintains state data for every TCP/IP session on the OSI network and transport layers.

•

Monitors all incoming and outgoing packets, applies the firewall policy to each one, and pages for

improper packets and intrusion attempts.

•

Provides comprehensive logging for all

ο

User authentications

ο

Rejected internal and external connection requests

ο

Session creation and termination

ο

Outside attacks (intrusion detection)

You can also configure the firewall filters to set rules for port usage.
