WNR2004 Features
The Uniden WNR2004 802.11b AP/Router provides many
easy-to-use advanced features, described below.
INTERNET ACCESS FEATURES
•
DSL & Cable Modem Compatible: Allows you to
connect to either DSL or Cable modems with Ethernet
supported.
•
Share High-Speed Internet Access: Your ISP gives
you a single WAN IP Address that can be shared among
all computers connected to the LAN. This is known as
a
Private Network . The computers connected to the
router (LAN) are hidden from the Internet. This process
is called Network Address Translation or
NAT .
•
PPPoE Support: The WNR2004 supports Point-to-
Point Protocol over Ethernet or PPPoE . If you use a
cable modem or DSL to connect to the Internet, you may
need this feature enabled.
•
Keep-Alive: When you use a PPPoE account, your ISP
may disconnect your PC if it remains inactive for a long
period of time. The keep-alive feature sends a data
packet over the connection at a designated time interval
to make sure the Internet connection remains active.
•
Dial-on-Demand: For PPPoE accounts, this feature
activates the Internet connection during the boot-up
stage, or only when using the applications which require
Internet access, such as Internet Explorer.
•
Static or Dynamic IP Address: Supports both Static
and Dynamic IP Addresses provided by your ISP.
