Introduction

SMCBR24Q is a 4-port QoS router which can be easily used at home and in a SOHO environment. It contains two WAN ports and four Ethernet 10/100 LAN ports. The SMCBR24Q combines flexible and easy-to-use QoS, parental control, firewall, and NAT with Fast Ethernet connections.

The flexible and easy-use QoS is a very practical function for bandwidth management. It supports traffic prioritization, guaranteed bandwidth, and limited bandwidth. By using these useful functions, every user behind SMCBR24Q can have his/her own bandwidth to access internet without having to worry about traffic congestion caused by randomly shared bandwidth. SMCBR24Q’s QoS function is ideal for bandwidth sensitive applications such as VoIP and media streams since it can guarantee those specific applications or users the minimum essential bandwidth rates.

For home, SMCBR24Q’s easy-to-use parental control utilities (access rules, bandwidth management, and content filtering), can help parents easily setup the access rules for their children to limit internet access time and protect children from accessing unwanted websites.

For SOHO, SMCBR24Q will allow two separate broadband connections of many types, including Cable and DSL for failover and load balancing/ connection backup with the unique two WAN ports.

SMCBR24Q also features built-in firewall to block various kinds of malicious attacks and curious intruders. The product uses stateful packet inspection (SPI) to inspect all data packets based on the established security policies. It also provides automatic protection from Denial of service (DoS) attacks such as SYN flooding, IP Spoofing, LAND, ping of death and all reassembly attacks. NAT functionality with firewall conceals network address avoiding the disclosure as public information and also provides a solution for IP address depletion problem. The product also has reverse NAT capabilities that enable users to host various internet services in the private IP address space such as web servers or e-mail servers.

SMCBR24Q also features easy to use WEB UI configuration for end users with different operation systems and with Setup Wizard support, end users can configure the router easily right out of the box.
