Manage Network Address Port Mappings through UPnP
If you have enabled UPnP on the SpeedStream router, you can use UPnP to manipulate the NAPT port
mappings. This is effectively the same as if you had logged into the router’s Web management interface
through your Internet browser.
For more information on port mappings, refer to page 65, NAT/NAPT . For more information about UPnP,
refer to page 16, Logging In with UPnP or page 82, UPnP (Universal Plug and Play).

Firewall
Your SpeedStream router includes a user-configurable firewall that provides various levels of security
against outside attacks. This firewall provides only WAN-side protection. The firewall does not provide
any LAN-side protection.
The firewall also includes an advanced Attack Detection System (ADS) containing various algorithms to
detect and identify WAN attacks the moment they start and protect the LAN from such attacks. Though
WAN access may be temporarily hindered, the LAN is protected from such harmful traffic load.
