Can someone PLEASE tell me how to activate the Firewall in the ORBI?

[Orbidude]

Hi, I was told by Arris that enabling firewall is done on the ORBI and not the modem. I'm running Mojave on a iMac Pro. I know I can turn on the Firewall in the Mac's System Pref's, but it's causing issue's with certain applications I'm currently running.

How do I activate Firewall in the ORBI? Anyone know?

Thanks!

It's built in and is automatic.

Firewall is already on and automatic by default on the Orbi.

Hi Furry,

Where do I locate that when I go to 192.168.1.1?

Thanks!

Furry, is the firewall built into the ORBI or do I have to check a box when I go to 192.168.1.1?

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I don't know much about firewalls, but is the firewall in the AC3000 good enough to block unauthorizied access?

Thanks again!

unless you give access codes away, you'll be fine.

Great, thanks! I appreciate it.
