CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your NBG-318S
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the NBG-318S.
1.1 Overview
The NBG-318S is the ideal secure HomePlug AV wireless firewall router for all data passing
between the Internet and your local network.
1.1.1 Secure Broadband Internet Access
Connect a broadband modem to your NBG-318S for shared Internet access protected by
firewall and content filtering. You can also use media bandwidth management to efficiently
manage traffic on your network. The Quality of Service (QoS) features allow you to prioritize
time-sensitive or highly important applications such as Voice over Internet (VoIP).
Figure 1 Secure Internet Access
1.1.2 Wireless LAN Application
The NBG-318S Wireless LAN feature allows IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compatible
wireless clients to access the Internet or the local network as well as to communicate with each
other. Wireless stations can move freely anywhere in the coverage area and use resources on
the wired network. The Super G function allows compatible clients to connect to the NBG318S at up to 108 Mbps.
