Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and
Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
• Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard connec-
tions or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow
such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.
•
Special Applications. This feature, also called Port Triggering, allows you to use
Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a firewall.

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 dy-
namic IP address which changes every time you connect.
•
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.

Firewall. As well as the built-in firewall to protect your LAN, you can define Firewall
Rules to determine which incoming and outgoing traffic should be permitted.

Wireless Features
• Standards Compliant. The Wireless Router complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS)
specifications for Wireless LANs.
•
Supports Pre-N Wireless Stations. The 802.11n Draft standard provides for backward
compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless sta-
tions can be used simultaneously.
•
Speeds to 300Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 300Mbps are supported.
•
WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64
Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before transmission, providing pro-
tection against snoopers.
•
WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission,
providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and
provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.
