Setting up the Firewall
Your router's integrated firewall monitors and limits the exchange of data between sub-
scribers of your local network and the Internet. Activating the firewall does not affect the
router's performance.
When the firewall is activated you can:
¤
protect your network against hacker attacks,
¤
restrict Internet access for individual PCs in your local network (
