To better protect your privacy and prevent the HA35 from malicious network attacks, it is
recommended that you set the firewall level to
High
, so that the LAN computers can only
browse the web and download files using an FTP server, while prohibiting Internet users
access to the HA35.
6.5.2. Configuring the Firewall
The HA35 provides a firewall to help secure its WLAN and any devices connected to it. Set
the firewall level based on site requirements to quickly configure the firewall.
