bandwidth and giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or
to particular computers.
Remote Management This allows you to decide whether a service (HTTP or FTP traffic
for example) from a computer on a network (LAN or WAN for
example) can access the NBG-417N.
Wireless LAN Scheduler You can schedule the times the Wireless LAN is enabled/
disabled.
Time and Date Get the current time and date from an external server when
you turn on your NBG-417N. You can also set the time

IP default gateway and DNS servers to computers on your

IP address. You must register for this service with a Dynamic
DNS service provider.

groups (see RFC 2236).
Logging Use logs for troubleshooting. You can view logs in the Web
Configurator.
