Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface Table of Contents sections 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Configuring the Firewall Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide array of common hacker attacks including: • IP Spoofing • SYN flood • Land Attack • UDP flooding • Ping of Death (PoD) • Tear Drop Attack • Denial of Service (DoS) • ICMP defect • IP with zero length • RIP defect • Smurf Attack • Fragment flooding • TCP Null Scan The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack networks. These ports appear to be "Stealth", meaning that for all intents and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, while disabling the firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.
