Thank you for purchasing a Nexland Pro Series Internet Security Appliance. Using
technology originally designed to meet the standards of Fortune 1000 Enterprises,
Nexland’s routers are considered the most reliable in their class. Your Pro series
appliance is not only reliable; it also is one of the most feature rich and fastest of the
low-cost routers.
The Nexland Pro is the perfect solution for sharing your high-speed broadband Internet
connection with more than one computer. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how fast
all your computers will now be able access the Internet.
The firewall feature of the Nexland Pro makes your network “invisible” from the
outside. It turns away all unauthorized external requests for information from your
network.
The Pro appliance also creates a local area network (LAN). This allows all the
computers connected to it to share files, printers and other network devices. You can
also play multiplayer games over your LAN.
Note for the Manual: The Nexland WaveBase is also a Pro series appliance and is
sometimes referred to as such.
