Turn on the hardware firewall if present.
Setup mac security on any multi-access device. Dont let unknown devices
access.
Use any access control list that it is capable of.
How do I do it on the Internet facing side of my model for the same ?
Depends on your modem. Would tell you for mine, but no power, so cant
connect to it now.
I would like to know why the firmware for these modems are not being
released once in a quarter to address ..
They may release bug fixes. But these are low price high volume products.
Most dont have any majorly new features since the initial standards were
written. Bug fixes are rare, newer models probably have the same
codebase+fixes.
IIRC airtel has an ftp site with updates for their modems, but these are
not regular.
You are better off using community firmware on/or a higher end
modem+wireless router that has more security features/better community/
support.
