In the Firewall section, the 

check box 

is selected (default). We recommend that you enable this security feature 
to prevent Denial of Service attacks from overloading your Internet 
connection and making it unavailable.

Set the Threshold to match the bandwidth of your Internet connection 
(check with your ISP).

In the Options area, click to select any of the following check boxes:

■

 If enabled, your router 

responds to pings from sources on the Internet. Not enabling this 
option provides a slight increase in security.

■

 If enabled, your router allows IPSec connections. IPSec is 

a protocol used for VPN (Virtual Private Networking) connections to 
increase security.

■

 If enabled, your router allows PPTP (Point to Point 

Tunneling Protocol) connections. PPTP is a protocol used for VPN 
(Virtual Private Networking) connections to increase security.

■

 If enabled, your router allows L2TP (a security protocol 

developed by Cisco) connections. L2TP is a protocol used for VPN 
(Virtual Private Networking) connections to increase security.
