Chapter 3
Protecting Your Network
This chapter describes how to use the basic firewall features of the Wireless Router to protect your
network.
Protecting Access to Your Wireless Router
For security reasons, the router has its own user name and password. Also, after a period of
inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login automatically disconnects. When
prompted, enter
admin
for the router user name and
password
for the router password. You can
use procedures in the following sections to change the router password and the amount of time for
the administrator’s login time-out.
NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. The ideal
password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of both
upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.
Changing the Built-In Password
1.
Log in to the router at its default LAN address of
with its default user name
of
admin
, default password of
password
, or using whatever password and LAN address you
have chosen for the router.
Note:
The user name and password are not the same as a user name or password you
might use to log in to your Internet connection.

Blocking Keywords, Sites, and Services
The router provides a variety of options for blocking Internet-based content and communications
services. With its content filtering feature, the router prevents objectionable content from reaching
your PCs. You can control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within Web
addresses. Content filtering options include:
•
Keyword blocking of HTTP traffic.
•
Outbound service blocking. Limits access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that
you specify as off-limits.
•
Denial of service (DoS) protection. Detects and thwarts denial of service (DoS) attacks such as
Ping of Death, SYN flood, LAND attack, and IP spoofing.
•
Blocking unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN.
The following section explains how to configure your
router to perform these functions.
Blocking Keywords and Sites
The
router
allows you to restrict access to Internet content based on Web addresses and Web
address keywords.
1.
Log in to the router at its default LAN address of
with its default user name
of
admin
, and default password of
password
, or using whatever password and LAN address
you have chosen for the router.
