Unnumbered IP with PPPoE is also supported. • 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.

  • Page 7: Lan Features

    Introduction • WPA2-PSK support. Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the extremely secure AES encryption method. • 802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrial- strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization. • Wireless MAC Access Control.
  • Page 8 Wireless Router User Guide • Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests 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 unavailable.
