Basic Configuration
Firewall Tab
A firewall helps to protect your home network from unauthorized
access. It will also help to manage authorized access from the
internet to your CPE.
The Enable Web Login from Internet and the Enable Ping from
Internet options are by default turned off. This is because these
options allow unknown users to access your computer via the
internet, and this is not safe.
