Configuration
and
Management
❑ Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or
WLAN for configuration.
❑ 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.
❑ UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic
discovery and configuration 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) technology 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 incoming 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 bandwidth and so many
resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless
Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
