Re: Zyxel p660r-elink Security - Adding a router?

said by AllisLost See Profile :

Please bear with me, I'm trying to learn:

I have a Zyxel p660r-Elink modem with as tight a security configuration as I could seem to implement (block telnet, ftp, & so on). I also have Comodo (CFP3) ALSO as tight as possible, but of course am still failing the Shields Up stealth tests as this little modem has no apparent NAT stealthing capabilities

I have a couple "real" routers laying around (2 Linksys and an SMC Barricade) and am wondering:
I fail the True Stealth also. Want to know why? I allow pings. Simple, not a security threat ICMP echo aka ping so that my DSL Line Monitor works here at BBR.

The thing to worry about is any ports that are Red. If you do not have any Red ports, then you are secure.




Pick one of your Linksys Routers (see if you have either one of the two below listed in the EL Forum FAQ). Update it to the latest Firmware from Linksys.

Set your ZyXEL to Bridge Mode. Here is the FAQ for the P-660R-D1 (must match numbers on bottom label). Otherwise, find your Model Number in the EL Forum FAQ) and follow those instructions.

Now setup your Linksys Router.

»EarthLink DSL FAQ »How To Setup the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router for EarthLink DSL?

Just remember, you are on your own as EL will refuse to assist you when you supply your own Router. If you need support, they will refer you to the Linksys support since you purchased the Linksys Router on your own.

Enjoy.
