Please note that disabling the firewall on the router is not recommended except in
exceptional circumstances (such as for testing purposes). Disabling the firewall may open up
the router and local network to unwanted intrusion from the Internet.

ACCESS CONTROL
The access control feature of the router’s firewall allows you to block certain types of
Internet traffic to devices or computers on your network. For example you may wish to block
all POP3 and SMTP email traffic on a particular computer.
The access control setting allows you to block traffic for individual computer IP addresses, or
for a range of IP addresses on your network. You can select from a number of pre-defined
traffic types (based on port numbers), or define your own application port or a whole range of
ports to block.
If you have defined a schedule rule on the Advanced Set-Up > Firewall > Schedule
Rule page, you can also apply that to the access control rule, allowing you to block traffic
only at certain days or times of the day.

Before setting up an access control rule, it is a good idea to reserve an IP address for the
device you wish to set up the rule for. You can do this in the Advanced Set-Up > DHCP
admin page, under the address reservation section. See
