Wireless Broadband Router Features
The Wireless Broadband Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully
designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the
Internet through the Wireless Broadband Router, using only a single external IP
Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This
process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Broadband router has a
10/100BaseT Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular
DSL and Cable Modems are supported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia)
login support is also included.
PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond Support. The Internet
(WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-
Peer Tunneling Protocol), L2TP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as
well as "Direct Connection" type services. Unnumbered IP with PPPoE is also
supported.
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the
Wireless Broadband Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is al-
located on connection) and Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN
users.
DMZ. For each WAN (Internet) IP address allocated to you, one (1) PC on your
local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way communication with Serv-
ers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability to run programs
which are incompatible with Firewalls.
Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can determine which
Internet services are available to LAN users.
