Packet Filtering
The wireless AP/Router provides extensive firewall protection through packet
filtering.
Packet filtering restricts connection parameters to limit the risk of intrusion and
defends against a wide array of common hacker attacks. Packet filtering allows the
unit to permit, deny or proxy traffic through its ports.
