Integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point
802.11g is an exciting new wireless technology that achieves data rates up to
54Mbps, nearly five times faster than 802.11b.
125 High-Speed Mode
High-Speed Mode (HSM)*, a 54g™ performance enhancement, provides
the fastest wireless connectivity for 802.11g-capable networks in real-world
environments. It is designed for home networks that require additional
bandwidth for applications such as sharing digital pictures. 125HSM makes
802.11g WLANs more efficient without impacting the performance of
neighboring networks, and is compatible at high speeds with leading brands.
Integrated Parental Control Web Content Filter
Belkin has teamed with Cerberian, a leading content-filtering company, to
bring you this unique feature. Your Belkin Wireless G Router is the first home
networking solution with an integrated web content filter that allows you to
block unwanted or offensive web content before it makes it to your network.
Unlike other Parental Control solutions, Parental Control is built into the Belkin
Wireless Router, so there is no software to install on any computer and you
will never be charged a per-computer fee for the service, ever. Your Wireless
Router comes with a six-month free trial of this feature so you can take
advantage of the capabilities right away. No credit card is needed to use the
trial. You have control: Belkin Parental Control can be modified to meet your
needs. You can set up your own policies and block any website you want.
There is also an optional reporting feature (fee-based) that allows you to get a
report showing you every website that was visited from your network (refer to
your Parental Control Manual for more information).
MAC Address Filtering
For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client
identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its
own MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list using the
web-based user interface and you can control access to your network.
*When operating in High-Speed Mode, this Wi-Fi device may achieve an actual throughput
of up to or greater than 34.1Mbps, which is the equivalent throughput of a system following
802.11g protocol and operating at a signaling rate of 125Mbps. Actual throughput will vary
depending on environmental, operational and other factors.
