œWireless LAN SecurityĈWEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA-
PSK are supported, as well as Wireless access control to prevent
unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
œNAT ProtectionĈAn intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address
Tr anslation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a
single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is
hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single
device - the Wireless Router.
œProtection against DoS attacksĈDoS (Denial of Service) attacks
can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection
requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that
Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless Router incorporates
protection against DoS attacks.
