Firewall Settings
The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting
connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attacks, and defending
against a wide array of common Internet attacks. However, for applications that
require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific
client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Note: To enable the Firewall settings select Enable and click Apply

DMZ
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games)
properly from behind the NAT firewall, then you can open up the firewall
restrictions to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host.
The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port
IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the
virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a
particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN
client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services)
going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.

Denial of Service (DoS)
The Broadband router's firewall can block common hacker attacks, including
Denial of Service, Ping of Death, Port Scan and Sync Flood. If Internet attacks
occur the router can log the events.
