being accessed by outside users. Not only provide the natural firewall function
(Network Address Translation, NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to
secure user’s network. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered.
Besides, it can also be configured to block internal users from accessing to the
Internet.
The product provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN users’ IP
addresses which are invisible to outside users 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.
For example, to ensure that games and other Internet applications will run
properly, user can open some specific ports for outside users to access internal
services in network.
Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) services, client and server,
allow multiple users to get their IP addresses automatically on boot up from the
product. Simply set local machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically
assigned IP address from DHCP server and reboot. Each time local machine is
powered up; the router will recognize it and assign an IP address to instantly
connect it to the LAN.
