Introduction
Congratulations on your purchases of the D-Link Wireless Broadband
Router. Your Wireless Broadband Router enables you to share your DSL or
Cable Internet connection with computers on your network. This guide will
explain the features and functions of the Wireless Broadband Router to
help you get the most out of your Internet experience.
D-Link’s Wireless Broadband Router allows LAN users to share a
single Internet Connection while providing the safety and security of port
blocking, packet filtering, and a natural firewall. Static address support,
integrated DHCP, PPPoE, and device name support will allow it to connect
to nearly any broadband provider whether Cable or DSL based, and at the
same time simplify local area network settings.
The Wireless Broadband Router provides two levels of security
support. First, it masks local users’ IP addresses from others on the Internet
making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your
network. Secondly, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the
services that outside users can access. Specific ports can be opened to
ensure that games and other Internet applications will run properly.
The Broadband Router provides special pass through support for
common VPN implementations. The Virtual Server feature allows you to
expose HTTP, FTP, Game Servers and other local services to be accessible
to Internet users located outside of the LAN. The User-Definable
Application Sensing Tunnel feature allows you to define the attributes to
support special applications requiring multiple connections, such as
Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony. A DMZ
setting can be applied to a single client behind the Broadband Router to
