User's Manual

Wireless ADSL Router User Guide

• IPoA, PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct Connection Support. The Wireless ADSL Router

supports all common connection methods.

• Auto-detection of Internet Connection Method. In most situations, the Wireless

ADSL Router can test your ADSL and Internet connection to determine the connection

method used by your ISP.

• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (ADSL port) connection, the Wireless

ADSL Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection)

and Fixed IP Address.

Advanced Internet Functions

• Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard connec-

tions or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and

allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.

• Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows

users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dy-

namic IP address which changes every time you connect.

• URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.

• Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN users to differ-

ent groups, and determine which Internet services are available to each group.

• Firewall. As well as the built-in firewall to protect your LAN, you can define Firewall

Rules to determine which incoming and outgoing traffic should be permitted.

• Scheduling. Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to operate only at

certain times. This provides great flexibility in controlling Internet -bound traffic.

• Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a Syslog

Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.

• Port Triggering. This feature, also called Special Applications, allows you to use

Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a firewall.

• Port Forwarding. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your

LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.

• QoS Support Quality of Service can be used to handle packets so that more important

connections receive priority over less important one.

• VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software

using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.

Wireless Features

• Standards Compliant. The Wireless ADSL Router complies with the IEEE802.11g

(DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.

• Supports 11n Wireless Stations. The 802.11n Draft standard provides for backward

compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless sta-

tions can be used simultaneously.

• WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of

64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before transmission, providing

protection against snoopers.

• WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission,

providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and

provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.

• WPA2-PSK support. Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the extremely

secure AES encryption method.
