Screen Descriptions

Firewall – Set up a firewall for this router to block specific incoming or outgoing traffic by

IP address and/or ports.

DMZ – Set up a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) to allow computers behind the router firewall to
be accessible to Internet traffic. Typically, your DMZ would contain Web servers and FTP
servers.

You can set up a single computer on your network outside of the router. If you have a
computer that cannot run Internet applications successfully from behind the router, you can
place the computer into the DMZ for unrestricted Internet access.

Note: Firewall settings and Port Forwarding Rules supersede the configured

DMZ host.

MAC Filter – Control network access based on the MAC address of the client device. The
MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer.

Parental Controls – Control Internet access to specific websites and access periods. See
“Setting Up Parental Controls” on page 56.

Important: Because of serious security concerns, use this option only as a last resort.
