Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

UPnP is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliant.

Integrated Enhanced Wireless Access Point

Enhanced is an exciting new wireless technology that achieves data rates of up to 150Mbps. Actual throughput is typically lower than the connected data rate and will vary depending on your networking environment.

Support for VPN Pass-Through

If you connect to your office network from home using a VPN connection, your Router will allow your VPN-equipped computer to pass through the Router and to your office network.

Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes for the easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will assign IP addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need for a complicated networking setup.

Setup Assistant

The Setup Assistant, second generation of Belkin’s renowned Easy Install Wizard, takes the guesswork out of setting up your Router. This automatic software determines your network settings for you and sets up the Router for connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). In a matter of minutes, your Router will be up and running on the Internet.

NOTE: Setup Assistant software is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, and Vista; and Mac OS X v10.x. If you are using another operating system, the Router can be set up using the Alternate Setup Method described in this User Manual (see page 20).

NOTE: The standard transmission rate—150Mbps—is the physical data rate. Actual data throughput will be lower.

MAC Address Filtering

For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its own MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface and you can control access to your network.
