Support for VPN Pass-Through If you connect to your office network from home using a VPN connection, your Router will allow your VPN-equipped computer to pass through the Router and to your office network. Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes for the easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will assign IP addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need for a complicated networking setup. Integrated N+ Wireless Access Point N MIMO is an exciting new wireless technology based on the draft IEEE 802.11n specification. It employs MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) smart-antenna technology that achieves data rates of up to 300Mbps.* Actual throughput is typically lower than the connected data rate and will vary depending on your networking environment. *NOTE: The standard transmission rate-300Mbps-is the physical data rate. Actual data throughput will be lower. MAC Address Filtering For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its own MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface and you can control access to your network. Setup Assistant The Setup Assistant, second generation of Belkin's renowned Easy Install Wizard, takes the guesswork out of setting up your Router. This automatic software determines your network settings for you and sets up the Router for connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). In a matter of minutes, your Router will be up and running on the Internet. NOTE: Setup Assistant software is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, and Vista; and Mac OS X v10.x. If you are using another operating system, the Router can be set up using the Alternate Setup Method described in this User Manual (see page 22). N+ Wireless Router 6
