Router’s Security

The Broadband Router’s security suite includes comprehensive and robust security services: Stateful Packet Inspection, a firewall, user authentication protocols, and password protection mechanisms. These features allow users to connect their com- puters to the Internet and be protected from the security threats.

The Router’s firewall is the cornerstone of the Router’s security suite. It has been exclusively tailored to the needs of the residential/office user and is pre-configured to provide optimum security.

The firewall provides both the security and flexibility home and office users seek. It provides a managed, professional level of network security while enabling the safe use of interactive applications, such as Internet gaming and video-conferencing.

Additional features, including surfing restrictions and access control, can also be configured locally through the Router’s MegaControl Panel, or remotely by a service provider.

The firewall also supports advanced filtering, designed to allow comprehensive control over the firewall’s behavior. Specific input and output rules can be defined, the order of logically similar sets of rules can be controlled, and distinctions between rules that apply to Internet and local network devices can be made.
