TOTAL NETWORK SECURITY

The HD Media Router supports all of the latest wireless security features to prevent unauthorized access, be it from over the wireless network or from the Internet. Support for WPA standards ensure that you’ll be able to use the best possible encryption method, regardless of your client devices. In addition, this HD Media Router utilizes dual active firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet.

*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.
