Default Huawei router firewall configuration

The broadband modem has been supplied by BSNL. PC runs on XP-pro SP2, fully patched, along with ZoneAlarm Free. Modem detail is : Huawei SmartAX MT882 ADSL router.

I went through the instruction manual of the modem, but couldn't figure out how to activate the hardware firewall (or, whether it is already on). Shall be grateful for guidance.

Thank you for your reply. I am attaching a screenshot of my current settings
... these are as done by the BSNL engineer who installed the modem.

Do I need to change any of these for better security? I am just a plain computer user, and shall be grateful for advice by experts.

Thanks again,

You know people spend a lot more time securing their setup rather than using it .. dont worry dude.. just make sure you have a good software firewall installed.. thats more than enough for a home user..Zone alarm is good!!

Hardware firewalls in home BB routers are pretty much rudimentary. Zone Alarm should do the job for you.
