Verison FIOS, D-Link DI624, 2.43DDM firmware?

Ah, thanks, I'll give it a try.

Yeah, except the Belkin F5D7213-4, which hangs if you add those to the blocking list (plus 443 & 593 UDP for DCOM blocking). Sigh.

From:

| [I hope this is an appropriate place to talk about FIOS] | | I've got Verizon FIOS at 15M/2M, and they gave me a D-Link DI614 | router running some special version of firmware, 2.43DDM, does anyone | know what that is, what features it adds, and if it's security is any | good? | | It apparently allows Verizon to remotely manage it, or something, and | I'm concerned with having my LAN exposed to something that's remotely | managable, so I'd like to add a firewall. However, every SOHO router | I've tried so far(*) has fallen over with high levels of traffic after | between a few minutes and a couple of days. | | (*) Linksys {BEFSR41, BEFSR41V4, WRT54G}, Belkin F5D7231-4, NetGear | WGR614 all have various problems with lots of traffic. | | Any reccomendations on routers that can handle heavy loads without | falling over would be greatly appreciated! | | Thanks!

What's wrong with the Verizon private News Group...

As for security, as always I suggest blocking TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and
