More about Following describes the three levels of firewall protection

available for the gateway:

• Very High – all incoming/outgoing traffic over the

WAN interface is blocked and the home network is

isolated from the Internet.

• High – all user configured port-forwarding rules are

disabled. No user or application can remove port-

forwarding rules. HTTP UI smart port-forwarding is

disabled. As a result, Internet applications that

require user configured port-forwarding rules will not

be available.

This mode is appropriate for home users who just

want to access the Internet from their client PCs and

do not plan to run any special server software in their

home network.

• Normal (default) – Internal processes or modules

such as the Universal Plug and Play Internet

Gateway Device (UPnP IGD) have permission to

dynamically auto-configure port-forward rules in their

respective domains to provide ease of use. HTTP UI

smart port-forwarding is enabled. As a result, Internet

applications that require user configured port-

forwarding rules are available.
