If you wish to block all Internet browsing access during a scheduled period, enter the keyword
“.” and set the schedule in the Schedule menu.
To specify a Trusted User, enter that computer’s IP address in the Trusted User box and click
Apply
.
You may specify one Trusted User, which is a computer that will be exempt from blocking and
logging. Since the Trusted User will be identified by an IP address, you should configure that
computer with a fixed IP address.
Blocking Access to Internet Services
The WPN824 router allows you to block the use of certain Internet services by computers on your
network. This is called service blocking or port filtering. The Block Services menu is shown
below:
Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For
example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game
hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on your network sends a request for
service to a server computer on the Internet, the requested service is identified by a service or port
number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For
example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request.
To enable service blocking, select either
Per Schedule
or
Always
, then click
Apply
. If you want to
block by schedule, be sure that a time period is specified in the Schedule menu (see
“Scheduling
When Blocking Will Be Enforced” on page 5-5
).

To specify a service for blocking, click
Add
. The Block Services Setup menu appears, as shown
below:
From the
Service Type
list, select the application or service to be allowed or blocked. The list
already displays several common services, but you are not limited to these choices. To add any
additional services or applications that do not already appear, select
User Defined
.
Configuring a User Defined Service
To define a service, first you must determine which port number or range of numbers is used by
the application. The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) and published in RFC1700, “Assigned Numbers”. Service
numbers for other applications are typically chosen from the range 1024 to 65535 by the authors of
the application. This information can usually be determined by contacting the publisher of the
application or from user groups of newsgroups.
Enter the Starting Port and Ending Port numbers. If the application uses a single port number, enter
that number in both boxes.
If you know that the application uses either TCP or UDP, select the appropriate protocol. If you are
not sure, select
Both
.

Configuring Service Blocking by IP Address Range
Under “Filter Services For”, you can block the specified service for a single computer, a range of
computers (having consecutive IP addresses), or all computers on your network.

Trend Micro Home Network Security
You can enable Home Network Security from the Security Service menu if you did not do so when
you originally set up your router. Home routers provide an enhanced Internet experience, but the
likelihood of attacks also increases. Trend Micro Home Network Security addresses the security
needs of computers accessing the Internet via home routers.
To begin using Home Network Security, configure the Security Service and Parental Controls
menus on your WPN824 router. Each screen has a GUI button to click that will take you to the
Trend Micro Web site to open your Trend Micro account.
Note: The RangeMax Wireless Router WPN824 supports Home Network Security. To
take advantage of this feature you must register an account with Trend Micro. For more
information, see
the Home Network Security
Quick Start Guide
on the NETGEAR
Resource CD, or go to
. The Trend Micro
software requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher.
