Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers-The router supports a variety of networking environments including Mac OS®, X v10.x, Linux®, Windows® 2000, XP, Vista™, and others. All that is needed is an Internet browser and a network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the standard language of the Internet).

This feature eliminates the need for advanced software and status-monitoring procedures.

There are no disks to install or keep track of and you can make changes and perform setup functions from any computer on the network quickly and easily. NAT IP Address Sharing-Your router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the single IP address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while saving the cost of adding IP addresses to your Internet service account. SPI Firewall-Your router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide array of common hacker attacks including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death (PoD), Denial of Service (DoS), IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, TCP Null Scan, SYN flood, UDP flooding, Tear Drop Attack, ICMP defect, RIP defect, and fragment flooding. Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch-The router has a built-in, 4-port network switch to allow your wired computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos, and much more. The switch features automatic detection so it will adjust to the speed of connected devices.
