Wireless Functionality

Allows IEEE 802.11b and/or IEEE 802.11g wireless clients to

 

connect to the NBG-417N wirelessly. Enable wireless security (

 

WPA(2)-PSK) and/or MAC filtering to protect your wireless

 

network.

 

Note: The NBG-417N may be prone to RF (Radio

 

Frequency) interference from other 2.4 GHz devices

 

such as microwave ovens, wireless phones,

 

Bluetooth enabled devices, and other wireless LANs.

 

 

Firmware Upgrade

Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web

 

site and use the Web Configurator to put it on the NBG-417N.

 

Note: Only upload firmware for your specific model!

 

Configuration Backup & Make a copy of the NBG-417N’s configuration and put it back

Restoration

on the NBG-417N later if you decide you want to revert back to

 

an earlier configuration.

 

 

Network Address

Each computer on your network must have its own unique IP

Translation (NAT)

address. Use NAT to convert a single public IP address to

 

multiple private IP addresses for the computers on your

 

network.

 

 

Firewall

You can configure firewall on the NBG-417N for secure Internet

 

access. When the firewall is on, by default, all incoming traffic

 

from the Internet to your network is blocked unless it is

 

initiated from your network. This means that probes from the

 

outside to your network are not allowed, but you can safely

 

browse the Internet and download files for example.

 

 

Content Filter

The NBG-417N blocks or allows access to web sites that you

 

specify and blocks access to web sites with URLs that contain

 

keywords that you specify. You can define time periods and

 

days during which content filtering is enabled. You can also

 

include or exclude particular computers on your network from

 

content filtering.

 

You can also subscribe to category-based content filtering that

 

allows your NBG-417N to check web sites against an external

 

database.
