•64-bit and 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - For authentication and data encryption.

•Enable/Disable SSID broadcast - The user can enable or disable the SSID broadcasts functionality for security reasons. When the SSID broadcast functionality is disabled, a client computer cannot associate with the wireless AP with an “any” network name (SSID, Service Set ID); the correct SSID has to be specified on client computers.

•MAC-address-based control - Blocks unauthorized wireless client computers based on MAC (Media Access Control) addresses.

•Repeater - A wireless AP can communicate with other wireless APs via WDS (Wireless Distribution System). Therefore, the wireless AP can wirelessly forward packets from wireless clients to another wireless AP, and then the later wireless AP forwards the packets to the Ethernet network.

•Wireless client isolation - Wireless-to-wireless traffic can be blocked so that the wireless clients cannot see each other. This capability can be used in Hotspot applications to prevent wireless hackers from attacking other wireless user´s computers.

•Transmit power control - Transmit power of the wireless AP's RF module can be adjusted to change RF coverage of the wireless AP.

•Associated wireless clients - Shows the status of every wireless client that is associated with the built in wireless AP.

•Replaceable antenna - The factory-mounted antenna can be replaced with high-gain antennas for extending range or increasing wireless coverage to a particular area.

•Internet Connection Sharing

•DNS proxy - The SMCWHSG44-G can forward DNS (Domain Name System) requests from client computers to DNS servers on the Internet. And DNS responses from the DNS servers can be forwarded back to the client computers.

•Static DNS mappings - The network administrator can specify static FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) to IP address mappings. Therefore, a host on the internal network can access a server also on the intranet by a registered FQDN.

•DHCP server - The SMCWHSG44-G can automatically assign IP addresses to client computers by DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

•Static DHCP mapping capability - The network administrator can specify static IP address to MAC address mappings so that the specified IP addresses are always assigned to the hosts with the specified MAC addresses.

•Current DHCP mappings - Shows which IP address is assigned to which host identified by a MAC address.

•NAT Features - Client computers share a public IP address provided by an ISP (Internet Service Provider) by NAT (Network Address Translation). Our NAT server functionality supports the following:
