D-Link’s DI-714 allows LAN users to share a single Internet
Connection while providing the safety and security of port blocking,
packet filtering, and a natural firewall. Static address support, integrated
DHCP, PPPoE, and device name support will allow it to connect to nearly
any broadband provider whether Cable or DSL based, and at the same time
simplify local area network settings.
The DI-714 provides two levels of security support. First, it masks
local users’ IP addresses from others 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. Specific ports can be opened to ensure that games and other
Internet applications will run properly.
The Wireless Broadband Router provides special pass-through
support for common VPN implementations. The Virtual Server feature
allows you to expose HTTP, FTP, Game Servers and other local services to
be accessible to Internet users located outside of the LAN. The
User-Definable Application Sensing Tunnel feature allows you to define
the attributes to support special applications requiring multiple connections,
such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony. A
DMZ setting can be applied to a single client behind the Wireless
