Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal: This
protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-
alone devices and PCs from many different vendors. It makes network
simple and affordable for users. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and
the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control
and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled,
users can now connect to Net meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.
•
Network Address Translation (NAT): Allows multi-users to access
outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP
address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateway
(ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News,
Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.
•
SOHO Firewall Security with DoS and SPI: Along with the built-in NAT
natural firewall feature, the router also provides advanced hacker pattern-
filtering protection. It can automatically detect and block Denial of Service
(DoS) attacks. The router is built with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to
determine if a data packet is allowed through the firewall to the private
LAN.
•
Domain Name System (DNS) Relay: It provides an easy way to map
the domain name (a friendly name for users such as www.yahoo.com) and
IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server with this router’s IP
address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router
will be forwarded to the real DNS in the outside network.
•
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS): The Dynamic DNS service
allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This
dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the
service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service like
http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 DDNS servers are supported.
•
Quality of Service (QoS) : QoS gives you full control over which types of
outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the router, ensuring
important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management
information move through the router ay lightning speed, even under heavy
load. The QoS features are configurable by source IP address, destination
IP address, protocol, and port. You can throttle the speed at which
different types of outgoing data pass through the router, to ensure P2P
users don’t saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn’t bring
