Network Features

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server: The server
provides an easy-to-configure function for your local IP network. It can
automatically assign IP network configurations for local PCs, such as IP
address, IP netmask, gateway IP address, and Domain Name server etc.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Proxy: The DNS proxy maintains a
DNS cache, including a mapping table of domain names and IP
addresses. The proxy also remembers DNS query packets sent through
the router and saves them into its own DNS cache. For enhanced speed,
when a DNS query packet enters the router, the proxy searches its local
DNS cache. If matched, the router sends an answer to the host that sent
the DNS query packet. Only unmatched DNS queries require querying a
WAN Domain Name Server.
Mutiple Network Address Translation (Multi-NAT): Multi-NAT
allows multiple SOHO users to concurrently connect to an Internet
Service Provider (ISP) via a single Internet access account or multiple
statically-assigned IP addresses.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Support: Used in most
LAN-to-LAN applications. The RIP protocol exchanges routing
information between routers.
