Security Features
wireless security
The router uses a private key encryption known as Wired
Equivalent Privacy protocol with key lengths of either
Built-in “NAT” firewall
As the router handles the incoming and outgoing traffic of data packets between the internal and external network, it checks whether incoming WAN packets are legitimate replies to requests from LAN users before allowing them to pass into the LAN. This checking provides effective firewall protection because rogue Internet packets will be automatically discarded.
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall
More than just a “NAT” firewall, there is a powerful Stateful Packet
Inspection (SPI) firewall in the router. Stateful inspection compares certain key parts of the packet to a database of trusted information. SPI Firewall is unlike the normal firewall that only checks the headers of the packets, it also scrutinizes the contents of the packets, ensuring the integrity of the packets.
Internet Access Policies:
filtering, Packet filtering
To complement the powerful firewall technologies incorporated into the router product, you can use the comprehensive set of security management features to regulate the types of Internet access permitted. You may set up
packet filtering rules to control the transmission of TCP, UDP
packets for different ports.
