Remote Management.
The Wireless Router can be managed from any PC on your
LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the
Internet.
•
UPnP Support.
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and con-
figuration of the Wireless Router. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.
Security Features
•
Password - protected Configuration
. Optional password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
•
Wireless LAN Security
. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is supported, as well as
Wireless access control to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
•
NAT Protection.
An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tec h-
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even
the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a
single device - the Wireless Router.
•
Stateful Inspection Firewall.
All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-
ing 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 band-
width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless
Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
