Question
How do I configure the firewall in SBR-AC3200P?  
Answer
The SBR-AC3200P Firewall has various settings related to blocking or exclusively allowing different types of data through the router from the Internet to the home network.  Even if specific web content is allowed on the computer level, it can be blocked on the router / gateway level using the firewall options.  By default, the Firewall is set to Off; it is recommended to be enabled.  This document describes how to setup the SBR-AC3200P firewall.
