Set Up Firewall Rules to Control Network Access
Your modem router has a firewall that blocks unauthorized access to your wireless network
and permits authorized inbound and outbound communications. Authorized communications
are established according to inbound and outbound rules. The firewall has the following two
default rules
Inbound
. Block all access from outside except responses to requests from the LAN side.
Outbound
. Allow all access from the LAN side to the outside.
You can add rules to further restrict the outbound communications or more widely open the
inbound communications. Exceptions can be based on the service or application, source or
destination IP addresses, and time of day. You can log traffic that matches or does not match
the rule and change the order of rule precedence.
Traffic attempting to pass through the firewall is subjected to the rules in the order shown in
the Rules table from the top (highest precedence) to the bottom. In some cases, the order of
precedence determines which communications are allowed into or out of the network.
To set up firewall rules:
1.
Select
Advanced > Security >
Firewall Rules
.
2.
You can add, edit, or delete a rule.
To add an outbound rule, click
Add
under Outbound Services.
To edit or delete a rule, select its button on the left side and click
Edit
or
Delete
.
3.
(Optional) Change the order of precedence:
a.
Select the button on the left side of the rule and click
Move
.
b.
At the prompt, enter the number of the new position and click
OK
.
4.
