Chapter 1: Getting to know your 11g Wireless Security Router

This chapter describes the package contents and provides a list of features and
application illustrations of the 11g Wireless Security Router.

1-1 About The 11g Wireless Security Router

The 11g Wireless Security Router is a hybrid design product which combines Ethernet
technology and wireless access into a single stand-alone unit. The device allows you take
advantages of both mobility and fast connection. All PCs whenever on wireless LAN or
Ethernet LAN can share files, printers and other network resource. Moreover, all users
can share single account of Internet access by having this device connect to a DSL/Cable
modem.

Ethernet / Fast Ethernet

Ethernet is the most widely-used network access method, especially in a Local Area
Nnetwork (LAN) and is defined by the IEEE as the 802.3 standard. Normally , Ethernet is
a shared media LAN. All station s on the se gm ent share the total bandwidth, which could
be 10Mbps (Ethernet), 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet), or 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). With
a switched Ethernet, each sender and receiver has the full bandwidth.

Fast Ethernet is defined as IEEE 802.3u standard, a high-speed version of Ethernet with
100Mbps transmission rate.

Wireless LAN

Wireless Local Area Network systems (WLANs) transmit and receive data through the
air by using radio frequency (RF). This offers some advantages like mobility, ease of
installation, and scalability over traditional wired systems.

Mobility: WLANs combine data connectivity with user m obility. This provides users
with access to network anywhere in their organization. For example, users can roam from
a conference room to their office without being disconnected from the LAN. This is
impossible with wired networks.

Ease of Installation: Eliminating the need to deploy network cable in walls and ceilings,
Installing WLANs is easy for novice and expert users alike.

Scalability: WLAN topologies are easy to change in various ways from peer-to-peer
networks for a small group of users to full infrastructure networks for hundreds of users
roaming over a broad area.

Wireless LAN is suitable f or difficult-to-wire and frequently changing environm ents. It’s
also an ideal solution for mobile workers to access network resource and for setting a
temporary LAN when necessary

Wireless LANs can be set as “Aad-hoc” network and “Infrastructure” network. Unlike
the “Aad-hoc network”, where users on the LAN send data directly to each other, the
“Infrastructure” network includes an access point and users on the “Infrastructure”

- 3 -

11g Wireless Security Router User Guide

network send data to that dedicated access point. 11g Wireless Security Router uses
“Infrastructure” network as Wireless LANs. Each wireless LAN PC within the range of
the access point can communicate with other wireless LAN PCs within the range.

it remains idle. However, in some situation, RAS session
cannot be established immediately after disconnection.

little time to restore itself. You may need to check with
your ISP to obtain detail of how long you need to wait
before re-establish the RAS session. Enter this
information in the “Redial Period” field.

Chapter 4: Advanced Applications

This chapter provides information on how to set up and use the advanced functions of
your 11g Wireless Security Router .

4-1 Firewall

The settings page allows you to configure advanced Firewall functions, providing
superior security for your network environment.

Firewall Option:

Web Filter:

Enabling this function will prevent DoS (Denial of Service)
attacks and activates the SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection). The
SPI function will check any incoming data packets, particularly
whenever there is a TCP connection initiated by your LAN PCs.

This feature provides options allowing you to filter any
potential risk contained in some web technologies by
individually checking “Allow” or “Deny”.

Web proxy is a server your device will connect to when you
access any web site. Setting web proxy can speed up access
time but also can create other potential security issue. For
example, if you configure the W ireless Security Router to block
access to 216.115.102.76, which is the IP address of
www.yahoo.com

, it will fail. This is because your PC will
connect to web proxy server instead of connecting to Y ahoo’s IP
address.
