Please note that disabling the firewall on the router is not recommended except in

exceptional circumstances (such as for testing purposes). Disabling the firewall may open up

the router and local network to unwanted intrusion from the Internet.

ACCESS CONTROL

The access control feature of the router’s firewall allows you to block certain types of

Internet traffic to devices or computers on your network. For example you may wish to block

all POP3 and SMTP email traffic on a particular computer.

The access control setting allows you to block traffic for individual computer IP addresses, or

for a range of IP addresses on your network. You can select from a number of pre-defined

traffic types (based on port numbers), or define your own application port or a whole range of

ports to block.

If you have defined a schedule rule on the Advanced Set-Up > Firewall > Schedule

Rule page, you can also apply that to the access control rule, allowing you to block traffic

only at certain days or times of the day.

Before setting up an access control rule, it is a good idea to reserve an IP address for the

device you wish to set up the rule for. You can do this in the Advanced Set-Up > DHCP

admin page, under the address reservation section. See

how to reserve an IP address

on page

124 for further information.

You can create access control rules for up to 10 devices.

No access control rules are enabled by default; however you can create rules by navigating to

the Access Control page as follows:

1. Login to the router’s admin pages.

2. Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with

caution’ page.

3. Click on Firewall in the left hand navigation menu to expand the Firewall menu

4. Click on Access Control in the left hand navigation menu:
