Mega 200VWR Router
Chapter 1: Introduction

Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection
This router supports PPPoA, RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over
Ethernet and IPoA to establish a connection with the ISP. It also supports VC-based and
LLC-based multiplexing.
Quick Installation Wizard
The router has a WEB GUI page to allow quick installation of the router. With this wizard, end users
can enter their ISP information easily and quickly, and surf the Internet immediately.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal
This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and
computers from many different vendors. It makes networking simple and affordable for users. UPnP
architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to
control and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, users can now
connect to applications such as Net Meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
This function allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously
with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateways (ALG) are
supported, such as web browsing, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting,
IP phone and others.
SOHO Firewall Security with DoS and SPI
Along with the built-in NAT natural firewall feature, the router also provides advanced hacker
pattern-filtering protection. It can automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
The router is built with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to determine if a data packet is allowed
through the firewall to the LAN.
Domain Name System (DNS) Relay
This provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as
www.yahoo.com) to an IP address. When a local computer has its DNS server IP address
configured to the router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the Computer to
this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in the outside network.
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic WAN IP address to a static hostname.
To use the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service like
http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 different DDNS servers are supported.
Quality of Service (QoS) QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic
should be given priority by the router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer
information, or management information move through the router at lightning speed, even under
heavy load. The QoS features are configurable by source IP address, destination IP address,
protocol, or port. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through
the router, to ensure P2P users don’t saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn’t bring
client web serving to a halt. In addition, or alternatively, you can simply change the priority of
different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.
Virtual Server (“port forwarding”)
Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect incoming
service requests and forward either a single port or a range of ports to the specific local computer to
handle it. For example, a user can assign a PC in the LAN to act as a WEB server and expose it to
Internet users. Outside users can browse this web server directly, while it is still protected by NAT. A
DMZ host setting is also provided to completely expose a local computer the Internet.
Rich Packet Filtering
This not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter
