Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch
The Router has a built-in, four-port network switch to allow your wired
computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos, and
much more. The switch features automatic detection so it will adjust to
the speed of connected devices. The switch will transfer data between
computers and the Internet simultaneously without interrupting or
consuming resources.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
UPnP is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice
messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are
UPnP-compliant.
Support for VPN Pass-Through
If you connect to your office network from home using a VPN
connection, your Router will allow your VPN-equipped computer to
pass through the Router and to your office network.
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes
for the easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server
will assign IP addresses to each computer automatically so there is no
need for a complicated networking setup.
Easy Install Wizard
The Easy Install Wizard takes the guesswork out of setting up your
Router. This automatic software determines your network settings for
you and sets up the Router for connection to your Internet Service
Provider (ISP). In a matter of minutes, your Router will be up and running
on the Internet.
Note: Easy Install Wizard software is compatible with Windows 98SE,
Me, 2000, XP, and Mac OS X. If you are using another operating system,
the Router can be set up using the Alternate Setup Method described in
this User Manual (see page 24).
