•

Stateful Inspection Firewall.

All incoming data packets are monitored and all

incoming 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 bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavail-
able. The Wireless Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
