  • Page 4: Chapter 1 Introduction

    Chapter 1 Introduction This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Router's features and capabilities. Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Router. The Wireless Router is a multi-function device providing the following services:  Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.

  • Page 5: Advanced Internet Functions

    Introduction  Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Wireless Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address. Advanced Internet Functions  Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall.

  • Page 6: Lan Features

    Introduction  WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmis- sion, providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.  WPA2-PSK support. Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the extremely secure AES encryption method.
  • Page 7 Introduction  Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server re- quests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.  Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavaila- ble.

  • Page 8: Package Contents

    Introduction Package Contents The following items should be included. If any of these items are damaged or missing, please contact your dealer immediately.  WBR-6010  1 Cat-5 Ethernet (LAN) cable  Power Adapter  Quick Installation Guide  CD-ROM containing the on-line manual.
