Introduction

This chapter describes the features of the NETGEAR DG824M Wireless ADSL Modem Gateway.

The DG824M gateway is a combination of a built-in ADSL modem, router, 4-port switch, and

firewall which enables your entire network to safely share an Internet connection that otherwise is

used by a single PC.

About the Gateway

The DG824M Wireless ADSL Modem Gateway provides continuous, high-speed 11 Mbps access

between your wireless and Ethernet devices. The DG824M gateway enables your entire network

to share an Internet connection through the built-in ADSL modem that otherwise is used by a

single PC. With minimum setup, you can install and use the gateway within minutes.

The DG824M gateway provides multiple Web content filtering options, plus e-mail browsing

activity reporting and instant alerts. Parents and network administrators can establish restricted

access policies based on time-of-day, website addresses and address keywords, and share

high-speed ADSL Internet access for up to 253 personal computers. The included firewall and

Network Address Translation (NAT) features protect you from hackers.
