Wireless Broadband Router Features

The Wireless Broadband Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.

Internet Access Features

•Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet through the Wireless Broadband Router, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).

•DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Broadband router has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are supported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login support is also included.

•PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond Support. The Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to- Peer Tunneling Protocol), L2TP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as "Direct Connection" type services. Unnumbered IP with PPPoE is also supported.

•Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Wireless Broadband Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is al- located on connection) and Fixed IP Address.

Advanced Internet Functions

•URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.

•DMZ. For each WAN (Internet) IP address allocated to you, one (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way communication with Serv- ers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability to run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.

•Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can determine which Internet services are available to LAN users.
