Broadband Router Features

Internet Access Features

Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet through the Broadband Router, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Ad- dress Translation).

PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond Support. All common Internet connection methods are supported, including PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol), L2TP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as "Direct Connection" type services.
