Tips for security
This router is shipped “secure” with firewall enabled by default. In order to
take full benefit from the security features of this router:
Do:
• Change your router’s administrative user name & password.
• Back up your router’s configuration. This function can be found in the
router’s Management > Backup Config menu.
• Disable UPnP if you don’t need this function.
• Read about the more advanced functions. They can be found in the
User Manual for each of the models.
Don’t:
• Enable remote access to the router, unless you are confident in handling
the security implications.
• Enable IP extension (half-bridging) without any other firewall protection.
If the router operating in this mode is connected to a computer, to the
minimum install a “personal firewall” (software) to protect the computer.
• Send your router away for repair or replacement without resetting to
factory default or wiping out your Internet account login details. Use the
Backup Configuration option to store your router’s setting elsewhere. This
function can be found in the router’s Management > Backup Config menu.
When a replacement unit is received, restore the original setting from the
backup file.
