up a DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU) size, and
enable the modem router to respond to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port.
To view the WAN settings:

network.

The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4. Select

The following settings display:
• Disable IPv4 Firewall Protection. NETGEAR recommends that you leave this check
box empty so that the firewall protects your modem router.
• Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. DoS protection protects your LAN against
denial of service attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf
Attack, Ping of Death, and many

• MTU Size (in bytes).
The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most
