Advanced_WEB Filter
This section is where you add the Web sites to be used for Access Control. The Web sites
listed here are used when the Web Filter option is enabled in
Access Control
.
The Web Filter section is one of two means by which you can specify the web sites you want
to allow. You also have the alternative of using the Sentinel Parental Controls Service, which
allows you to specify broad categories of web sites and saves you the trouble of entering
specific web site URLs. For more information about the Sentinel service, refer to
Tools

Sentinel

Web Filter Parameters
Web Site
Enter the address of the web site that you want to allow; for example:
google.com

http://
preceding the address. Enter the most
inclusive domain; for example, enter
u-media.com
and access will be permitted
to both
www.u-media.com
and
support.u-media.com
.
Many web sites construct pages with images and content from other
web sites. Access will be forbidden if you do not enable all the web
sites used to construct a page. For example, to access

Advanced_MAC Address Filter
The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on
the unique MAC addresses of their network adapter(s). It is most useful to prevent
unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network. A MAC address is a unique
ID assigned by the manufacturer of the network adapter.
Enable MAC Address Filter
When this is enabled, computers are granted or denied network access depending
on the mode of the filter.
Misconfiguration of this feature can prevent any machine from accessing
the network. In such a situation, you can regain access by activating the
factory defaults button on the router itself.
Filter Settings
Mode

Advanced_Firewall
The router provides a tight firewall by virtue of the way NAT works. Unless you configure the
router to the contrary, the NAT does not respond to unsolicited incoming requests on any
port, thereby making your LAN invisible to Internet cyber attackers. However, some network
applications cannot run with a tight firewall. Those applications need to selectively open
ports in the firewall to function correctly. The options on this page control several ways of
opening the firewall to address the needs of specific types of applications. See also
