Changing Default Settings
Here are some reasons why you might want to use the Advanced program to change
the router's default settings.
• You want to change wireless n/g/b settings to enable wireless security. See
Configuring Security Settings on page 45 for details.
• You want to block access to certain URLs or set up Time of Day usage rules.
See
The URL Blocking Page on page 47 for details.
• You want to hide the SSID name so other network users cannot see your
wireless network. See
The Wireless Setting Page on page 38 for details.
• You want to change router settings to establish a firewall to guard against
unauthorized access to your network. See
The MAC Address Control Page
on page
48 for details.
• You want to set up a Virtual Server or DMZ so that your games or gaming
consoles can access the Internet through your router's firewall. See
Configuring Forwarding Rules on page 41 for details.
• You want your Mobile Broadband connection to be terminated by the router
if you haven’t used the Internet for a specified period of time. The default
setting is Auto Reconnect (always on). See
The Basic Setup Page (Connection
Control) on page
35 for details.
