This list may not be exhaustive, and may change over time.
 
 
==Notes==
DOS protection is left enabled - this may give some unexpected results, eg the router will only reply to 20 pings before it stops replying.
 
==WAN Configuration==
A Security Log can be found on the Web UI:
As mentioned above, the WAN side of the router is configured depending on the Service provided and the settings on the Control Pages.
