Configure the Firewall

Configure SPI Firewall

(Available in Wireless Routing Client and Gateway modes)
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) thwarts common hacker attacks like IP
Spoofing, Port Scanning, Ping of Death, and SynFlood by comparing

certain key parts of the packet to a database of trusted information
before allowing it through.

NOTE
Firewall security rules should be planned carefully as incorrect
configuration may cause improper network function.
