Logs are sent automatically according to the schedule that you set. If the log fills before the specified time, it is
sent. After the log is sent, it is cleared from the router memory. If the router cannot email the log and the log
buffer fills, the router overwrites the log.

View or Change WAN Settings
You can view or configure wide area network (WAN) settings for the Internet port.You can set up a DMZ (demilitarized
zone) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU) size, and enable the router to respond to a ping to its WAN
(Internet) port.
To view or change the WAN settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.
2.
Type
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
.The default password is
password
.The user name and password are case-sensitive.

Select
ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup
.
The following settings display:
•
Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection
. DoS protection protects your LAN against denial of service attacks
such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, and many others. Select this check box only in special
circumstances.
•
Default DMZ Server
. This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing online games or
videoconferencing, but it makes the firewall security less effective. See
Set Up a Default DMZ Server
on
page 50.
•
Respond to Ping on Internet Port
. This feature allows your router to be discovered. Use this feature only
as a diagnostic tool or for a specific reason.

Disable IGMP Proxying
. IGMP proxying allows a computer on the local area network (LAN) to receive the
multicast traffic it is interested in from the Internet. If you do not need this feature, you can select this check
box to disable it.
•
MTU Size (in bytes)
. The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500
bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. Change the MTU only if you are sure that it is necessary for
your ISP connection. See
Change the MTU Size
on page 32.
•
NAT Filtering
. Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the router processes inbound traffic.
Secured NAT protects computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet but might prevent some Internet
games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from working. Open NAT provides a much
less secured firewall but allows almost all Internet applications to work.

Set Up a Default DMZ Server
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing applications
that are incompatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of
these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases,
one local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is entered as the default
DMZ server.
WARNING:
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ server
loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to exploits from the
Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other
computers on your network.
The router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a response to one of your local
computers or a service that you configured on the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page. Instead of discarding this
traffic, you can specify that the router forwards the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called
the default DMZ server.
To set up a default DMZ server:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.
2.
Type
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
.The default password is
password
.The user name and password are case-sensitive.
