User's Manual
Introduction
3
• WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any
device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the
Wireless Access Point, or entering a 8-digit PIN code if there's no button.
LAN Features
• 4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless ADSL Router incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT
switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
• DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless ADSL Router can act as a
DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Configuration & Management
• Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for
configuration.
• Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from
the Wireless ADSL Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved
configuration file to the Wireless ADSL Router.
• Remote Management. The Wireless ADSL Router can be managed from any PC on
your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally)
be configured via the Internet.
• Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless ADSL Router to perform a Ping or
DNS lookup.
Security Features
• Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to prevent
unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
• Wireless LAN Security. WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x and WEP and Wireless access
control by MAC address are all supported. The MAC-level access control feature can be
used 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 ADSL Router.
• 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
ADSL Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
