You can also configure firewall and content filtering feature on the Device for secure Internet
access. When the firewall is on, 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 allowed, but you can safely browse the Internet and download files.
Use the filtering feature to block access to specific web sites or Internet applications such as MSN or
Yahoo Messenger. You can also configure IP/MAC filtering rules for incoming or outgoing traffic.
Use QoS to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving priority to certain types of traffic
and/or to particular computers. For example, you could make sure that the Device gives voice over
Internet calls high priority, and/or limit bandwidth devoted to the boss's excessive file downloading.

1.5 Wireless Access

The Device is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebooks, computers or
PDAs and iPads. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient
Ethernet cables.
