6.0 Firewall & QoS settings
The RG300EX
（
Lite) is equipped with an advanced firewall. This firewall allows you to open ports,
allowing certain programs to gain access to the Internet. You can open these ports using the function ‘Port
Forwarding’.
In some cases you will want to block access to the Internet. If, for instance, you have children, you may
want to block some explicit websites. You can do this using the built-in URL filtering method.
Hint: For your own security the Firewall is enabled by default. We do however advise you to also use a
virus scanner and always keep it up to date.
6.1 Port Forwarding
1. Open your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape or Firefox).
2. Type ‘
’ in the address bar.
3. Press the enter key or click ‘Go to’.
4. You will now be asked for a ‘Username’ and a ‘Password’. Fill in ‘admin’ in the
‘
Username’ field and ‘admin’ in the ‘Password’ field and press the ‘Enter’ key.
