Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi Cable Modem Router View WAN Settings You can view or configure wide area network (WAN) settings for the Internet port. You can set up a DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU) size, and enable the modem router to respond to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port. To view the WAN settings: 1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network. 2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. A login screen displays. 3. Enter the user name and password. The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The BASIC Home screen displays. 4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup. The following settings display: • Disable IPv4 Firewall Protection. NETGEAR recommends that you leave this check box empty so that the firewall protects your modem router. • Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. DoS protection protects your LAN against denial of service attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, and many others. Select this check box only in special circumstances. • Default DMZ Server. This feature is disabled by default. It is sometimes helpful when you are playing online games or videoconferencing, but it makes the firewall security less effective. See Set Up a Default DMZ Server on page 58. • Respond to Ping on Internet Port. This feature allows your modem router to be discovered. Use this feature only as a diagnostic tool or if you have a specific reason. • MTU Size (in bytes).
