Network Router User Manual

The Barricade™ Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router (SMC7004VWBR) is the ideal networking solution for
any home and business user. This platform independent multi-functional router combines a 4-port 10/100
Mbps dual-speed switch, an 802.11b wireless access point, Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall security,
network management, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through support into one convenient device.
The Wireless Barricade Router is the first router in its class to offer an integrated Stateful Packet Inspection
(SPI) firewall. This firewall provides protection against hacker invasions, such as Denial of Service (DoS)
attacks by analyzing individual data packets, as they pass through the Barricade, to ensure that only authorized
packets are allowed access to the network. To control network access, parents or business owners can block
certain web sites by entering either a URL address or just a keyword of the web site. In addition to these
incredible features, this latest addition to the Barricade family provides hacker prevention and logging
functionalities. For example, when a hacker attempts to access your network, the Barricade can alert you via
email so you can take appropriate action.
The Wireless Barricade provides a 10/100 Mbps WAN port for high-speed integration into your network.
Supporting NAT, the Barricade can provide simultaneous Internet access for up to 253 PCs using a single
purchased IP address. To manage these connections, the Barricade has a built-in DHCP server to auto-assign
IP addresses to devices on your network. To install this device, simply place the EZ 3-Click Installation CD into
your CD-ROM drive and in minutes you will be surfing the web. By using the web-based management system
you can configure this router to handle IP routing and port forwarding through the Virtual Server option. For
added management, this router also has a full- featured Access Control option. The integrated feature allows
you to filter traffic through your network based on IP and MAC address.
