[Notes]
- How to find the Wireless Hardware Version:
In the "Wireless LAN Setup" > "Wireless Information" > "Firmware
Version", the last
digit is the Wireless Hardware Version. For example, v1.2.8.16.04.2
means the
wireless hardware version is 2.
- Time schedule of IP filter, MAC Address Control, P2P/IM blocking and
URL filter:
Each of these firewall functions has 4 time schedule profiles. Each
profile
represents one of the 15 profiles in Advanced Setup/Call Schedule
Setup. Note that
only time settings in the profile are used by firewall functions.
Other settings
like Action and Idle Timeout will be ignored by firewall functions.
- MAC Address Control:
Can be used to assign the time that a MAC is allowed to pass the
router. It can also
be used to filter MACs that are not explicit specified in the list.
Note that this
function only checks source MAC of packets from LAN side.
- DOS Defense:
The way to defense flooding attacks before this release depends on
the total number
of attacks detected on the WAN interface. In this release, each port
will detect the
number of attacks and defense themselves when threshold is reached.
DOS defense function also works on LAN interface.
