rule of Static Routing will be added into the "Static Routing Table" below. If you find any typo before adding it and want to retype again, just click "Clear" and the fields will be cleared.
2.5 Firewall The Broadband router provides exten sive firewall protection by restricting co nn ection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attack, and defending against a wide array of common Internet attacks.
2.5.1 Access Control If you want to restrict users fr om accessing certain Internet app lications/ services(e.g. Internet websites, email, FTP etc.), then this is the place to set that configuration. Access Control all ows users to define the traffic type permitted in your LAN.
Add PC Fill in “Client PC MAC Address” and “Comment” of the PC that is allowe d to access the Internet, and then click “Add”. If you find any typo before adding it and want to retype again, just click "Reset" and the fields will be cleared.
Client PC IP Address Enter the IP address that you wish to apply this Acce ss Control rule. This is the user’s IP address that you wi sh to setup an Access Control rule. Note: You need to give your LAN PC cli ents a fixed/static IP address for the Access Control rule to work properly.
Example: Access Control In the example below, LAN client A can only acce ss websites that use Port 80. Ho wever, LAN client B is able to access websites and any ot her service that uses ports b etween 80 and 999.
2.5.2 URL Blocking You can block access to some Web sites fr om particu lar PCs by entering a full URL address or just keyword of the Web site. Parameters Description Enable URL Blocking Enable/disable URL Blocking Add URL Keyword Fill in “URL/Key word” and then click “Add”.

Parameters Description Intrusion Detection Feature Ping of Death Protections from any Ping of Death attacks. If you go to the advanced setting page, yo u can configure the threshold of the frequency of packets occurred.
2.5.4 DMZ If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly fro m behind the NAT firewall, then you can open the cli ent up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host.
Client PC IP Address Input the IP address of a particular host in your LAN t hat will receive all the packets originally going to the WAN port/Public IP address above Note: You need to give your LAN PC clients a fixed/static IP address for DMZ to work properly.

Glossary Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a d efault gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the de stinatio n is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out toward s the destination.
ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business t hat provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesse s or organizations. LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of com p uters and devices connecte d together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an offi ce).
