Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface 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, it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled. 56

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, it is recommended that you leave
the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection will not leave your
network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended
that you leave the firewall enabled.
