Key Features
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,
and XP. If you are using another operating system, the Router can be set up using
the Alternative Method described in this manual.
Integrated Wireless Connectivity
The Router has an integrated 802.11b Wi-Fi Access Point that allows you to
connect wireless-equipped computers to the network without wires.
Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers
The Router supports a variety of networking environments including Mac OS® 8.x,
9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 95, 98, 98SE, Me, NT®, 2000, and
XP, and others. All that is needed is an Internet browser and a network adapter
that supports TCP/IP (the standard language of the Internet).
Front-Panel Connected LED Display
Lighted LEDs on the front of the Router indicate which functions are in
operation. You’ll know at-a-glance whether your Router is connected to the
Internet. This feature eliminates the need for advanced software and status-
monitoring procedures.
Vertical or Horizontal Desktop Application
Your Router can stand vertically on the desktop to save space, or lay down flat
on a shelf or under your modem. The included vertical mounting base lets you
decide how to position the Router.
Web-Based Advanced User Interface
You can set up the Router’s advanced functions easily through your web browser,
without having to install additional software onto the computer. There are no
disks to install or keep track of and, best of all, you can make changes and
perform setup functions from any computer on the network quickly and easily.
NAT IP Address Sharing
Your Router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the single IP
address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while saving the cost
of adding additional IP addresses to your Internet service account.
SPI Firewall
Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a
wide array of common hacker attacks including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of
Death (PoD), Denial of Service (DoS), IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, TCP Null
Scan, SYN flood, UDP flooding, Tear Drop Attack, ICMP defect, RIP defect, and
fragment flooding.
Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch
The Router has a built-in, 4-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) Compatibility
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) 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) 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.
MAC Address Filtering
For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client identifiers)
that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its own MAC
address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list using the web-based user
interface and you can control access to your network.
