1.1.2 DSL Router

Your ZyXEL Device is an ideal solution for fast Internet access. Computers can connect to the
ZyXEL Device's LAN ports (or wirelessly) and use it as a gateway to the Internet.

Figure 2 Internet Access

You can also configure firewall and content filtering on the ZyXEL Device for secure Internet
access. When the firewall is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is
blocked unless it is initiated from your network. This means that probes from the outside to
your network are not allowed, but you can safely browse the Internet and download files.
Use content filtering to block access to web sites, with URL's containing keywords that you
specify. You can define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled and
include or exclude particular computers on your network from content filtering. For example,
you could block access to certain web sites for the kids.
Use bandwidth management to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving priority
to certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers. For example, you could make sure
that the ZyXEL Device gives voice over Internet calls high priority, and/or limit bandwidth
devoted to the boss's excessive file downloading.
