Features of the Prestige

Your Prestige is packed with a number of features that give it the flexibility to provide a complete
networking solution for almost any user. These include Wireless LAN, four-port LAN switch and bandwidth
management.
High Speed Internet Access
Your Prestige ADSL router can support downstream transmission rates of up to 8Mbps and upstream
transmission rates of 832 Kbps.

IPSec VPN Capability

Establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect with business partners and branch offices using data
encryption and the Internet to provide secure communications without the expense of leased site-to-site lines.
The Prestige's VPN is based on the IPSec standard and is fully interoperable with other IPSec-based VPN
products. The Prestige supports up to ten VPN connections.
Firewall
The Prestige is a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service) protection. By default, when the
firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is blocked unless it is initiated from the
LAN. The Prestige firewall supports TCP/UDP inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real time alerts,
reports and logs.
You can configure most features of the Prestige via SMT but we recommend you
configure the firewall and content filters using the web configurator.
Content Filtering
Content filtering allows you to block access to forbidden Internet web sites, schedule when the Prestige
should perform the filtering and give trusted LAN IP addresses unfiltered Internet access.
Wireless Built-in
The Wireless Built-in model comes with two 2dBi detachable antennae.
IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN Standard
IEEE 802.11g is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard. This means an IEEE 802.11b radio card
can interface directly with an IEEE 802.11g access point (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on
range. IEEE 802.11g has several intermediate rate steps between the maximum and minimum data rates. The
IEEE 802.11g data rate and modulation are as follows:
