Warning: This screen includes settings that could negatively impact the performance of the Modem,
if set incorrectly. These settings should be modified only by advanced users or if directed by CLEAR
Customer Care.
A firewall can be used to help to protect your home network from unauthorized access. A firewall
also helps to manage unauthorized access from the internet to your Modem.
 Enable Firewall: Check the box to enable the firewall setting.
 Enable Web Login from Internet: Check the box to enable you to access your Modem from a
network other than your own.
 Web Login Port from Internet: Choose a port number with which to connect when logging in
from a network other than your own. The default is 8080.
 Enable ping from Internet: Check the box to enable your Modem to respond to a ping from the
internet. This option should be enabled to allow testing only.
