The access point provides: • 802.11g wireless networking at up to 54 Mbps. • 802.11g wireless networking, with the ability to operate in 802.11g-only, 802.11b-only, or 802.11g and b modes, providing backwards compatibility with 802.11b devices or dedicating the wireless network to the higher bandwidth 802.11g devices. • 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption security. • WEP keys can be generated manually or by passphrase. • WPA-PSK support. Support for Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption which provides strong data encryption and authentication based on a pre-shared key. • Wireless access can be restricted by MAC address. • Wireless network name broadcast can be turned off so that only devices that have the network name (SSID) can connect. A Powerful, True Firewall with Content Filtering Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the WGR614 v5 is a true firewall, using stateful packet inspection to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include: • Denial of Service (DoS) protection. Automatically detects and thwarts DoS attacks such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, LAND Attack, and IP Spoofing. • Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN. • Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits. 2-2 Introduction June 2004 202-10036-01
