About the ADSL Wireless Modem Router

address filtering. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes.

Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by the ADSL Wireless Modem
Router:
Wireless and Wired LAN
The ADSL Wireless Modem Router provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices,
and wireless IEEE 802.11g compatible devices, making it easy to create a network in
small offices or homes.
Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through an ADSL connection. Since many DSL
providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish communications with end users, the
ADSL Wireless Modem Router includes built-in clients for these protocols,
eliminating the need to install these services on your computer.
Shared IP Address
The ADSL Wireless Modem Router provides Internet access for up to 253 users via
a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your
network can browse the web at the same time.
Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the ADSL Wireless Modem Router to act
as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various
services at your site using a constant IP address. Then, depending on the requested
service (or port number), the ADSL Wireless Modem Router can route the request
to the appropriate server (at another internal IP address). This secures your network
from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing
you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.
DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet.
This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an Internet application
from functioning correctly.
