default or wiping out your Internet account login details

Firewall security - It is recommended that the firewall be enabled. There are four
preset levels of security: Low, Medium, High & Block. At the "Block" level nothing
passes through. Reducing
the security level allows
more types of traffic to
pass through e.g. no ICQ
traffic is allowed in or out
at security level Medium,
however the Router will
allow outgoing ICQ traffic
at security level Low.
To enable the firewall, go
t o
C o n f i g u r a t i o n –
Security - Firewall.
Select
the level of security you
require. Click Apply, and
save configuration using
t h e
Sy s t e m - S a ve
Configuration
menu.
Advanced users may want
to customise the default
firewall policies to meet
their particular needs.

the
