Wireless Router Features
The Wireless 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 Router, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid)
IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Ad-
dress Translation).
•
DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Router has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port
for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are sup-
ported. 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 Pro-
tocol), SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as "Direct Connection" type
services.
•
Fixed, Dynamic, or Unnumbered IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connec-
tion, the Broadband Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on
connection) and Fixed IP Address. For PPPoE connections, Unnumbered IP is also sup-
ported.
