This powerful router distributes MP3s, digital movies and photos with fast 10/100/1000 switched LAN ports and shares a single IP address with up to 253 users.

Hassle Free Built-in port forwarding settings, Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) and virtual private network (VPN) pass-through 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). It supports PCs, Macintosh,® and virtually all Ethernet devices.

Secure
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. It also logs browsing activities and provides optional email alerts so you can monitor access. DMZ support allows unrestricted access from the Internet to one computer (for hosting web services).
