Advanced | Security
The security setup could help you to protect your network.
The Router contains both an Advanced Firewall and a
Basic Firewall. The Basic Firewall detects the common
attack patterns used by people on the Internet and once
detected will block their access to your network. The
Advanced Firewall uses Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI),
which is a more secure method of protection against
attacks to your network. When an attack is detected a log
entry will be generated and the Alert LED will be lit for 2
seconds.
