Manage NAT filtering [router mode]
Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the AP processes inbound traffic.
Secured NAT protects computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet but might
prevent some Internet services, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications
from working. Open NAT provides a much less secured firewall but allows almost all
Internet applications to work. Secured NAT is the default setting.
To change the default NAT filtering settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to a WiFi
network or LAN port on the AP.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, dismiss the warning. For more information,
see Dismiss a browser security warning on page 39.
3. Enter the AP local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
The WAN Setup page displays.
5. Select a NAT Filtering radio button:
•
Secured: Provides a secured firewall to protect the computers on the LAN from
attacks from the Internet but might prevent some Internet services, point-to-point
applications, or multimedia applications from functioning. By default, the Secured
radio button is selected.
•
Open: Provides a much less secured firewall but allows almost all Internet
applications to function.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
