Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router User Guide

WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmis- sion, providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.

Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.

Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed quickly and easily.

LAN Features

4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.

DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.

Configuration & Management

Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configuration.

Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file to the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router.

Remote Management. The Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router can be man- aged from any PC on your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the Internet.

Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router to perform a Ping or DNS lookup.

Security Features

Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.

Wireless LAN Security. WPA-PSK, WEP and Wireless access control by MAC address are all supported. The MAC-level access control feature can be used to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.

NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the loca- tion and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router.

Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server re- quests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.

Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavail- able. The Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
