you dont need to touch the firewall section of the router web gui.

the default settings should be fine. if your a novice i would enable UPnP for port forwarding this will do everything automatically for you.

besides the firewall. the only security feature you need to enable is WPA security for authorised access to your internet/router.

you want to be using WPA2-psk.

hope this helps

+1. WEP is a bare minimum, WPA2-PSk is much better.

untick upnp, you shouldn't need any ports being forwarded. Wep is a load of poo, wpa2-aes is what you need wireless security
