Newbie: Where do I start? was created by allat39
Hi guys

Just got a DRAYTEK VIGOR 2820Vn SERIES WIRELESS ROUTER and it's all working fine connected up and supplying our house with 5 network points and wireless.

I know it's working, but this is just the usual fast start setup, without looking into the wealth of extras and facilities that this model has got.
This is the reason (apart from reliability) that I chose this Draytek.


QUESTION 1 :?:


As a Newbie, I would really appreciate feedback from others in where I go next in terms of changing or modifying, or improving the setup, changing it from the basic one.
While I list below the 4 things I can think of, its the things I am not yet aware of that I would appreciate knowing about.

So what specifically should I look at modifying?

The sort of things I believe will be helpful are :

General and important security issues
Seeing which of our computers is active on the family network
Denying one of our computers from accessing the Internet or 'internally' on our family's networked NAS storage device.
Denying peer to peer access from one or all of our family's computers.

QUESTION 2 :?:


I am aware there are FAQs etc, but I would really appreciate ideas from those whove been down this road. What should I read /view / check out to make my limited learning time effective?

Thanks in advance :)
