15. FIREWALL SETTINGS
15.1 General Firewall Security Settings
This section explains how to configure your Router’s firewall security features. The Router’s firewall security
settings allow you reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your network by prohibiting certain types of inbound
and outbound network traffic and by allowing you to configure specific firewall rules.
IMPORTANT: If you need help, click Main in the top navigational menu to go to the home page. In the Quick
Links section of the home page, click Verizon Help. Clicking this link takes you to Verizon’s OnLine Help site,
where you can access additional information about your DSL Router.
To change your firewall security level, click the option next to the desired security setting. Next, click Apply to
allow the changes to take effect.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that you do not change the settings in this User Defined Firewall Rules screen.
If you need to reset your Router to factory default settings, push the reset button on the rear of the Router. Or follow
the instructions in section 16.2, “Restore Defaults,” to restore the Router to factory default settings.
The factory default security level for your Router is No Security (None).
