PS: they also told me I did not need to turn my computer off (electrically
via the surge suppressor as I've always done), and could safely leave it on
all night--"it takes the same power to turn it on as it would leaving it on,
and it's well protected, now." Comment???

I typed in 192.168.254.254 and a simple page opened to turn on the
"firewall." Does that help??

"turn it on..." Its a Siemens Speedstream 4200.

Thank you.

What kind of firewall does your ISP provide? The answer to that will
help
others to answer your question more accurately.
