 Disable port scan and DoS protection: Denial of service (DoS) protection
protects your LAN against DOS attacks. Generally, please enable the port
scanning and DOS protection function.
 Respond to Ping on Internet Port: If enabled, the router responds to ping
commands from the Internet. However, like the DMZ server, enabling this
function can bring about security risks. Generally, please disable this
function.
 NAT Filtering: NAT filtering determines the way that the router deals with
incoming traffic.
– Secured: This option provides a secured firewall to protect PCs on LAN
from attacks from the Internet, but it may not allow some Internet games,
point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications to work.
– Open: This option provides a less secure firewall that allows almost all
Internet applications to work.
After finishing the settings, click Apply to apply the settings.
