Configuring the Firewall

Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network

from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:

• IP Spoofing

• Land Attack Ping of Death (PoD)

• Denial of Service (DoS)

• IP with zero length

• Smurf Attack

• TCP Null Scan

• SYN flood

• UDP flooding

• Tear Drop Attack

• ICMP defect

• RIP defect

• Fragment flooding

The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to

attack networks. These ports appear to be “stealth” meaning that for

all intents and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You

can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, it is recommended

that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection

will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks,

but it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.
