[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1080516"] As noted at the top of post 9 "it not behind a properly secured router" , getting one is indeed good advice even from "[USER=52014]@Bot[/USER]". Its estimated around 83% of default ISP routers are not kept up to speed with firmware updates and therefore have exploitable vulnerabilities. Obtaining a router that will be updated as it should be is definitely in ones best interest. With closing ports or denying connections, doing so from windows firewall will work "for that device" only. If you are concerned about the network level doing so via the router firewall is the best option. To simplify things obtaining the more secure router is the best option. [/QUOTE]
