Firewall - Your Wireless-G Broadband Gateway features powerful and flexible Firewall
protection to keep your network secure. You can configure the strength of Firewall protection to
a high or low level. If you are an advanced user, you can configure Firewall policies to meet on
your needs.

Printer - Print Server allows LAN users to share one printer.

NAT - Network Address Translation allows multiple users at your local site to access the
internet over a single user account. It can also prevent hacker attacks by mapping local
addresses to public addresses for key services such as Web or FTP.

LAN - The gateway must have an IP address for the local network. You can also enable DHCP
service for dynamic IP address allocation to your clients, or configure filtering functions based
on specific clients or protocols.
