Introduction

LAN Features

• 4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless Router incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT switch-

ing 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 Router can act as a DHCP

Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.

• Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments are supported,

via the Wireless Router's RIP (Routing Information Protocol) support and built-in static

routing table.

Configuration & Management

• Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configura-

tion.

• Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from

the Wireless Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file

to the Wireless Router.

• Remote Management. The Wireless Router can be managed from any PC on your LAN.

And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the Internet.

• Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless Router to perform a Ping or DNS

lookup.

• UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and con-

figuration of the Wireless Router. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.

Security Features

• Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to

prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.

• Wireless LAN Security. WPA-PSK and WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) are supported,

as well as MAC-level Wireless access control to prevent unknown wireless stations from

accessing your LAN.

• NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-

nology 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 Router.

• Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-

ing 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 band-

width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless

Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
