I was puzzled by that as well. (I don't own this device.) Could be it
was incorrectly copied from the spec's for a combination modem/router.
There's no mention of a firewall feature in the user guide, so it's
either incorrect or something that's not user configurable. Protection
from buffer overflow/DOS attacks perhaps?
