Faster Wireless Networking
- The router provides up to 450Mbps* for the 2.4GHz band 802.11n wireless connection and 1.3Gbps for the 5GHz band 802.11ac
wireless connection. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio.
•
Compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g Devices
- The router is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g standards, so it can
connect with existing 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g PCI, USB and Cardbus adapters.
•
DHCP Support
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically and dynamically assigns all LAN IP settings to each host on your network. This eliminates the

Network Address Translation (NAT)
- For small office environments, the router allows multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet concurrently through a
single Internet account. This provides Internet access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user. NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the
private network behind one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.

Precise ATM Traffic Shaping
- Traffic shaping is a method of controlling the flow rate of ATM data cells. This function helps to establish the Quality of Service for
ATM data transfer.
