Dont expect the manual to help you with advanced firewall setup.
I bought a Billion7100 with similar firewall features, the manual is VERY
simplistic.Downloaded some manuals of other similar brands, these manuals were
just as simplistic.
Whats the point of advertising all the great firewall features when nothing in
the manual shows how to configure it.
My advice, dont spend to many extra $$ on features you may never know how to
setup.
