data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, users can now connect to Net
meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP
address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateway (ALG) are supported such as
web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.
Domain Name System (DNS) Relay
It provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as www.yahoo.
com) and IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server with t
his router‟s IP address, every
DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in the
outside network.
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This
dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you must first
apply for an account from a DDNS service like
http://www.dyndns.org/ . More than 5 DDNS
servers are supported.
Virtual Server
Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect
incoming service requests and forward either a single port or a range of ports to the specific
local computer to handle it. For example, a user can assign a PC in the LAN acting as a WEB
server inside and
expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside web servers directly while it is
protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the
outside network, Internet.
Rich Packet Filtering
Not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter
packets from the Internet and vice versa, in addition to providing a higher level of security
control.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server
In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate a range of client IP addresses and
distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local
computers. It provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.
802.11n Wireless AP with WPA Support
With an integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point in the router, the device delivers up to 6
times faster speeds and 3 times farther range than an 802.11b/g wireless network. It supports a
fast data transfer rate up to 300Mbps and is fully compatible with 802.11b/11g equipment. The
supported features of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK) and Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) enhance the security level of data protection and access control via Wireless
LAN. The router also supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) that features the establishment of a
