Introduction

The Barricade™ N Draft 11n Gigabit Broadband Router (SMCWGBR14-N) is the perfect all-in-one
networking solution for connecting and sharing your high speed cable/xDSL internet connection.
Designed for the home and office, this platform independent multi-functional router combines a 4-port
10/100/1000 LAN switch, high speed Wireless-N (draft 802.11n) access point, NAT firewall with
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), Intelligent stream handling technology, a Multi-function print server
and a User friendly web-based management interface in one convenient device.
The built-in wireless access point is 802.11n draft v2.0 compliant while maintaining full backwards
compatibility with the Wireless-G (802.11g) and Wireless-B (802.11b) standards. This next generation
wireless networking standard utilizes advanced MIMO (Multiple-In, Multiple-Out) technology to deliver
incredible speed and range. With wireless speeds up to 300Mbps and extended coverage, there is
enough bandwidth to simultaneously stream video and audio, play online games, transfer large files,
make VoIP calls and surf the Internet. With security being a key consideration, SMCWGBR14-N
supports the latest WPA and WPA2 wireless encryption standards, which prevent unauthorized
access to wireless networks and ensure data is secure. Wireless security can also be set up easily
using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
10/100/1000 LAN switch is ideal for connecting Gigabit Ethernet devices, such as Network Attached
Storage (NAS), and transferring large files or streaming media content at up to gigabit speeds.
The integrated NAT firewall with SPI provides protection from hackers and Denial of Service attacks
by analyzing individual data packets, to ensure that only authorized packets are allowed access to the
network. Using the Access Control feature parents or network administrators can block certain
websites, limit web access based on time or dates, and/or block internet access for applications like
P2P utilities or games. Intelligent stream handling technology automatically manages and prioritizes
the flow of time-sensitive data in your local network and going to the Internet, without the need for end
user configuration. As a result time-sensitive applications like online gaming and video, run smoothly
without lag and breakup problems. We've also included a USB2.0 multi-function print server which
supports both printing and scanning*. The print server has been designed with ease-of-use at the
forefront and can be setup in minutes using the printer installation wizard. Scanning and saving of
documents is performed using a web-based interface so there is no need to install scanning software
on each computer. Finally, configuration of your internet connection and advanced router functions is
made simple and straightforward with the EZ™ Installation Wizard and intuitive web-based
management interface.
