IP-address ranges of the external network whose data will be let through or blocked are specified on the Inbound Filter page.

The Firewall Settings page offers, besides the firewall settings proper, a variegated selection of setup options, including DMZ, a network address spoofing check, operation of some protocols with NAT, etc.

The router’s routing table is filled in on the Routing page. You’ve got a total of 32 editable fields here.

The physical-level parameters of the wireless connection are specified on the Advanced Wireless page.

Traffic prioritization for the wireless connection is set up on the WISH page.

The Wi-Fi Protected Setup page is for quickly adding new devices into the router’s WLAN. It can be done either with a specific PIN code or with a special button on the device being attached. Of course, the device must support the appropriate connection method.

And finally, on the Advanced Network page you can enable/disable the UPnP protocol, to ping the router from the external network, multicast streams. You can also select the speed of the WAN port here.
