R6100 WiFi Router
The Setup Wizard searches your Internet connection for servers and protocols to
determine your ISP configuration.
WAN Setup
The WAN Setup screen lets you configure advanced settings for your Internet connection,
and enable the router to respond to a ping on the WAN (Internet) port.
To view or change the WAN settings:
1. Select ADV
ANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
2. Specify the following settings:
• 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, Teardrop
Attack, UDP Flood, ARP Attack, Spoofing ICMP, Null Scan, and many others. This
should be disabled only in special circumstances.
• Default DMZ Server.
This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing online
games or videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature because it makes the
firewall security less effective. See the following section, Default DMZ Server.
• Respond to Ping on Internet Port. If you want the router to respond to a ping from
the Internet, select this check box. Use this setting only as a diagnostic tool because it
allows your router to be discovered. Do not select this check box unless you have a
specific reason.
