Wireless Broadband Router

40-bit (also called 64-bit), 128-bit, and 152-bit (802.11g only) WEP encryption

Functions: Automatically detects and configures your ISP type, Exposed Host (DMZ) MAC address authentication URL content filtering Logs and e-mail alerts of Internet activity Secure: A true firewall secures your network against hackers: - Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Denial of Service (DoS) attack prevention averts potential threats by scanning incoming traffic and Network Address translation (NAT) shields your networked devices from intruders. Powerful WEP encryption (40/64- or 128-bit) on the wireless LAN conceals your information from eavesdroppers. MAC Address Control prevents unauthorized access to your wireless network. VPN pass-through give secure Internet access to your office or corporate network. A free 8-PC license of Freedom® Zero-Knowledge Systems (a $240 value) prevents applications from sending your personal information over the Internet and blocks ads. Child Safe: Parents are able to limit web access by blocking offensive content and URL addresses, and the router sends real-time email alerts and logs of all network web activity. Comprehensive anti-virus protection ensures safety for your networked computers. Effortless: Smart Wizard simplifies setup - it automatically detects and configures your router for virtually all ISP connections. Install Assistant, NETGEAR's interactive tutorial, gives you simple prompts to guide you through each step of your installation. Applications that support UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) may be enabled to automatically interact with users over the Internet. Sleek design that comes with a vertical stand saves space. Firewall: Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), DoS Attack Detection/Logging, Dropped Packet Log, Security Event Log, E-mail Log
