Configuration & Management
• Easy Setup. Use a WEB browser from computer on your network to configure the
settings on the Wireless Router
• Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from
the Wireless Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration
files to the Wireless Router in-case your network goes down.
• Remote Management. The Wireless Router can be managed from any PC on your
LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the
Internet.
• Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless Router to perform a Ping or DNS
lookup.
• UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and con-
figuration of the Wireless Router. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.
Security Features
• Password - protected Configuration . Optional password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
• Wireless LAN Security . WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is supported, as well as
Wireless access control to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
• NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and
even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network,
only a single device - the Wireless Router.
• Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-
ing server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from
external sources.
• Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your
Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much band-
width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless
Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
