Ultra-Capable

One router supplies your network with impressive capabilities. A built-in ADSL modem furnishes direct, always-on Internet connectivity and multi-user access sharing at speeds up to 140 times faster than dial-up. The router distributes MP3s, digital movies and photos with ultra-fast 10⁄100 switched LAN ports capable of speeds of 200 Mbps and and shares a single IP address with all the networked devices in your home. Boasts double the memory and a 50% faster CPU than many popular routers.

 

Hassle Free

No need for a separate modem – it connects directly into your ADSL line. Built-in Port Forwarding settings, Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) passthrough make it simple to play Internet games, send instant messages, and host Internet services. The user interface matches your local language (English, French, German or Italian). Works with PCs, Macintosh®, and virtually all Ethernet devices, and comes with a free Ethernet cable for connecting your first computer.

 

Secure

True Firewall using Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Intrusion Control features Denial of Service protection from hacker attacks, while VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through permits secure access to your office or corporate network and enables you to host VPN services. Content filtering lets you control access to inappropriate web sites and limit usage by time of day. Logs browsing activities and provides optional e-mail alerts so you can monitor access.
