Features - Asus WL-520g User Manual

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Features

125 High Speed Mode
The WL-520g wireless router uses the 802.11g OFDM standard to allow
fast 54Mbps wireless data transfers while remaining fully compatible with
previous 802.11b devices. With "Afterburner" technology, WL-520g can
boost wireless transfer speeds by 35% compared with standard 802.11g
speeds. (Afterburner support is also required on client side.)
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)
WMM enhances wireless transfers of multimedia contents, providing
wireless network users an improved experience for sharing audio and video
files. WMM is a profile of the upcoming IEEE 802.11e Quality of Service
(QoS) extensions for 802.11 networks. QoS and multimedia support are
critical to wireless home networks, which require video on demand, audio
on demand, voice over IP and high-speed Internet access. (WMM support
is also required on client side.)
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2™)
WPA2 is the next-generation Wi-Fi security standard, combining the most
powerful authentication and encryption techniques, such as the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) to provide government grade security to protect
wireless networks from unauthorized use. WPA2 is designed to be backward
compatible with the original WPA standard, and therefore, WPA2 also
supports TKIP, AES, WPA, WPA-PSK and 802.1x authenticated WPA
networks. WEP, ACL and SPI firewall are also included to make sure
information doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
ASUS EZSetup Wizard
Adopting a unique push button design, ASUS' Wireless Router Series greatly
streamlines the setup process for beginners. Just press the button located
on the back of the device and use the simple ASUS EZSetup Wizard utility.
The routers will automatically register various wireless-capable devices
onto the network and activate security standards.
Parental Control / Children Protection
With specific keywords in URL setting within a pre-defined time interval,
this home wireless router will do web based filtering parental control to
filter/block adult content from newsgroups or websites. It is a router-based
filter, not PC-based, so you just make settings one time to keep all household
internet devices protected.
