to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port.

2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.

The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
The following settings display:
• Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. DoS protection protects your LAN against denial of service
attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, and many others. Select this check box
only in special circumstances.
• Default DMZ Server. This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing online games or
videoconferencing, but it makes the firewall security less effective. See Set Up a Default DMZ Server
on page 56.
• Respond to Ping on Internet Port. This feature allows your router to be discovered. Use this
feature only as a diagnostic tool or for a specific reason.
• Disable IGMP Proxying. IGMP proxying allows a computer on the local area network (LAN) to
receive the multicast traffic it is interested in from the Internet. If you do not need this feature, you
can select this check box to disable it.
