The following is a list of features that make your new Dynex Wireless G Router an ideal
solution for your home or small office network.
Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers—The router supports a variety of
networking environments including Mac OS®, X v10.x, Linux®, Windows® 2000, XP, Vista™,
and others. All that is needed is an Internet browser and a network adapter that supports
TCP/IP (the standard language of the Internet).
Front-Panel LED Display—Lighted LEDs on the front of the router indicate which
functions are in operation. You'll know at-a-glance whether your router is connected to the
Internet. This feature eliminates the need for advanced software and status-monitoring
procedures.
Web-Based Advanced User Interface—You can set up the router's advanced functions
easily through your web browser, without having to install additional software onto the
computer. There are no disks to install or keep track of and you can make changes and
perform setup functions from any computer on the network quickly and easily.
NAT IP Address Sharing—Your router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share
the single IP address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while saving the cost
of adding IP addresses to your Internet service account.
SPI Firewall—Your router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a
wide array of common hacker attacks including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death
(PoD), Denial of Service (DoS), IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, TCP Null Scan, SYN flood,
UDP flooding, Tear Drop Attack, ICMP defect, RIP defect, and fragment flooding.
Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch—The router has a built-in, 4-port network switch to
allow your wired computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos, and much
more. The switch features automatic detection so it will adjust to the speed of connected
devices. The switch will transfer data between computers and the Internet simultaneously
without interrupting or consuming resources.
Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) Compatibility—UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a
technology that offers seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and
other applications that are UPnP-compliant.
Support for VPN Pass-Through—If you connect to your office network from home using
a VPN connection, your router will allow your VPN-equipped computer to pass through the
Router and to your office network.
