Dynamic

With the Router Gateway you can enjoy ultra-fast Web-surfing from the get-go! Share your broadband Internet connection, files, and printers with up to 253 computers. Connect whether you have Windows, Apple Macintosh or even Linux computers. Instantly distribute MP3s, digital movies, and photos. Port Forwarding controls make it simple to communicate using multimedia applications (such as NetMeeting), host Web services, and play Internet games.

Protective

Establish content filtering by web address/web address keyword or by time-of-day usage limits for your children. You can also choose to receive e-mailed reports of browsing activities and optional real-time e-mail alerts. NAT (Network Address Translation) Firewall with VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through protects against Internet attacks, but allows you secure access. Auto-partitioning on each port protects each computer from damaged network connections. A free, 1-year subscription to Freedom® security and privacy software blocks ads and prevents personal information from being sent over the Internet (for up to 8 Windows-based computers).

Four ultra-fast 10/100 Mbps LAN ports automatically detect computer speed to optimize network performance (up to 200 Mbps with full-duplex) at a distance of 100 m (328 ft). With double the memory and a 50% faster CPU than many popular routers, the Router Gateway is well equipped to distribute large-file multimedia presentations in no time.

User-Friendly

Even without networking experience, this gateway is easy for anyone to set up and use.
