AC2000 802.11ac Wireless Access Point/Router WAC124 Router mode: Manage the basic firewall settings If the access point/router is in router mode, the basic firewall settings let you manage port scan protection and denial of service (DoS) protection, specify whether the access point/router can respond to a ping from the WAN port, set up a DMZ server, and manage IGMP proxying, NAT filtering, and the application-level gateway (ALG) for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). For information about the MTU size, which is another basic firewall setting, see Router mode: Change the MTU size on page 128. Note: The information in this section and subsections does not apply if the access point/router is in access point mode. Router mode: Manage port scan protection and denial of service protection Port scan protection and denial of service (DoS) protection can protect your LAN against attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, and many others. By default, DoS protection is enabled and a port scan is rejected. You can also enable the access point/router to respond to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port. This feature allows your access point/router to be discovered. Enable this feature only as a diagnostic tool or if a specific reason exists. To change the default WAN security settings: 1. Open a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the access point/router network. 2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field. If you are not connected to the access point/router network but to the same network as the access point/router, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point/router. If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point/router on page 29. The Sign-In page displays. You are prompted to sign in with your NETGEAR account. If the access point/router is not connected to the Internet, you are prompted to sign in with the local login credentials (see Log in to the access point/router when it is not connected to the Internet on page 28). 3. Click the Login button. The NETGEAR Account Login page displays. Manage the Firewall and 75 Security User Manual
