The Mako Networks System combines a web server driven configuration, management 
and reporting user interface with client end hardware to provide users with 
considerable cost savings as well as functionality and flexibility not currently available in 
traditional devices used to meet either the same or similar requirements. The Mako 
Networks System is targeted at small to medium sized businesses (SME), small to 
medium sized branch office of larger organisations and their use of broadband as a data 
transfer medium.

The Mako 8875 by Mako Networks is a solid-state ADSL2+ modem/router with a stateful 
inspection firewall, 

 functionality and four LAN Ethernet ports. Designed to work in 

VPN

enterprise level control over your connection to the Internet.

Your networks are always updated and fully protected through automatic software 
updates and patches, while intrusion attempts are managed in real time. The stateful 
inspection 

firewall

 performs a comprehensive analysis of all traffic entering and leaving 

your networks to ensure absolute network integrity.

Your firewall, a key security item, prevents unwanted information from entering or 
leaving your network. Your Mako’s stateful inspection firewall not only examines 

packets

 of information; it also makes decisions based upon information derived from all 

communication layers and other applications, providing true enterprise level protection.  

Working with the Mako Networks Central Management System, you have full control 
over all traffic entering and leaving your networks.

staff and a network for students. You could also have a network for wired computers 
and one for wireless or even four separate companies can share one
