    CM series modems are modems only. No built in router or firelwall. If you have the CM series modem, you'll need to connect a external wifi router to the modem then configure as needed. Most current router firewall are all automatic with little or no user configurations needed. 

     

    If you need a actual firewall applicance device, then you need to connect a firewall device. Do a search as there are many. Sorry, I can't recommend anything.
