When you first connect a computer to the Internet, it takes only minutes before it’s attacked by a hacker, according to the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team. This is why US-CERT recommends a firewall in addition to anti-virus software to protect your computer. If your D-Link’s built-in firewalls are causing problems, disabling them may help, but it could also make computers on your network vulnerable unless they have some other firewall protection. D-Link routers have two firewalls – Network Address Translation and stateful packet inspection. Disable both to turn off the firewall settings on the device. Tips Warnings Writer Bio
