Introduction

DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dy- namic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.

Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments are supported, using the Wireless Router's RIP (Routing Information Protocol) support and built-in static routing table.

Configuration & Management

Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configuration.

Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from the Wireless Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file to the Wireless-G Router.

Remote Management. The Wireless-G Router can be managed from any PC on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be con- figured via the Internet.

Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless-G Router to perform a Ping or DNS lookup.

UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and configuration of the Wireless Router. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.

Security Features

Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is

provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.

Wireless LAN Security. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is supported, as well as Wireless access control to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.

NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the loca- tion and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the Wireless Router.

Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
