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

• LandAttackPingofDeath(PoD)

• DenialofService(DoS)

• IPwithzerolength

• SmurfAttack

• TCPNullScan

• SYNflood

• UDPflooding

• TearDropAttack

• ICMPdefect

• RIPdefect

• Fragmentflooding

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.

Disabling the firewall protection will not leave your network completely

vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you leave the

firewall enabled.
