General Questions About Wireless Router Configurations

FIREWALL:
1. Which one would you recommend, setting my firewall in my Norton 360 or in the router?

2. How about the "physical firewall", FM114P NetGear ProSafe 11Mbps 4-Port 802.11b Wireless Firewall and Print Server.

    Would that be a better option for firewall, compared to the Norton360 or the Wireless Router's firewall?

 

NIGHTHAWK APP:
3. How can the network firewall setting be configured in the NightHawk App on the phone device, If it's possible?

4. Any PDF manual for the NightHawk App?

 

Thanks

      That's good.

       

      I'd be interested in the answers, because I cannot understand some of the questions. Your solution might also benefit other people who turn up here with similar questions.

       

      For a start, routers have not much, if anything, in the way of firewall settings that you can adjust.
