Network Address Translation (NAT) allows you hide the private network from the internet, while Stateful Packet Inspection will examine the packet more precisely than usual to identify the malicious packets.
The WRT400N wireless router also supports VPN Pass-through which allows you to enable VPN tunnels using IPSec pass through (Internet Protocol Security), PPTP pass through (Point-to-Point Tunneling protocol), or L2TP pass through (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocols) protocols to pass through the Router’s firewall.
With Internet Access Policy, you can manage the access of the internet by creating the Internet Access Policy. But you need to enable this feature since this is disabled by default that can be edited according to the need, such as computers will be affected by the policy (by MAC or IP address) either Deny or Allow, enforcing the days and times policy, blocking the websites and so on.
Applications and Gaming – DMZ
WRT400N wireless router also supports DMZ host. With the DMZ feature you can allow one computer to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. While the DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one computer. The Port Range Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer to the Internet.
