Security
What is the default username for the Gateway?
The default username for the router is “admin” and the default password is
“password” (all lower case, no quotation marks). To activate the password to
protect the Gateway, change the default password. Remote management will not
be available on the Gateway until the default password is changed.
Does the Gateway function as a firewall?
Yes. The Gateway provides its security through the use of
NAT firewall, which
acts as a physical barrier between your network and the Internet.
What is NAT and how does it protect my network?
NAT (Network Address Translation) is a type of security that masks the private
IP addresses of the computers on your network with a single public IP address.
With NAT , the private IP address of the computers on your network is never
transmitted over the Internet.
Which Virtual Private Networking (VPN) protocols are supported?
The Gateway supports pass-through for
PPTP , L2TP , and IPS ec.
