Blocking Access to Internet Services

The Wireless-N 150 Router WNR612v2 allows you to block the use of certain Internet
services by computers on your network. This is called service blocking or port filtering.
Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For
example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and
game hosts serve data about other players' moves. When a computer on your network sends
a request for service to a server computer on the Internet, the requested service is identified
by a service or port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the
transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is
an HTTP (Web server) request.
To block access to Internet services:
Select Block Services under Content Filtering in the main menu. The Block Services
