SBR-AC1750: Firewall Setup

The SBR-AC1750 Firewall, when enabled protects your network from a wide array of common hacker attacks including Ping of Death (PoD) and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. You can turn the firewall function off if needed. Turning off the firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you turn the firewall on whenever possible.  This document describes how to turn on the firewall on the SBR-AC1750.
