1.1 Wireless Router Features
The Wireless Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy
to use.
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet through the Wireless Router,
using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This
process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
• DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Router has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or
Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are supported.
• PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP Support. The Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet),
PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol) and L2TP, as well as "Direct Connection" type services.
• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Wireless Router supports both Dy-
namic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
• Port Triggering. This feature, also called Special Applications, allows you to use Internet applications which
normally do not function when used behind a firewall.
• Port Forwarding. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup
is quick and easy.
• Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows users to connect to Servers
on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dynamic IP address which changes every time you con-
nect.
• URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
• Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN users to different groups, and determine
which Internet services are available to each group.
