ActionTec MI424-WR User manual

Actiontec continues its string of impressive
technological advances with the introduction of
its newest powerhouse, the Wireless Broadband
Router.TheWirelessBroadbandRouterfeaturessupport
for the new Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA)
networking standard that permits digital entertainment
andinformationcontenttobetransmittedanddistributed
to multiple devices in the home over coaxial cable.
Ready forTriple Play Environments
A high-end CPU (capable of processing as much as 80
times the throughput as earlier-generation broadband
routers) makes it possible for the Wireless Broadband
Router to handle multiple high-throughput media
streams simultaneously,including standard and HDTV-
based video programming. Networks can be set up to
feedpersonal videorecordingfunctionalityfromasingle
set top box or other digital storage device to any TV in
the house. The router also supports Ethernet and Wi-Fi
as well as coax networking, and it allows telcos to assign
bandwidth priorities for data, video on demand and
voice over IP traffic to ensure quality of service in triple
play environments.
Even Easier to Use
In an effort to make the Wireless Broadband Router as
uncomplicated as possible to deploy and use,the graphical
user interface was redesigned from the ground up. Now,
it’s a snap to check the status of the network or the
broadband connection’s IP address. Nearly all other
configurationoptionsareoneor twoclicksaway,andthe
homepagecanbecustomizedwithspecificInternetlinks
or other online services.
Protection and Security
With all that data coming in, the security features had
better be first rate, and the Wireless Broadband Router
doesn’t disappoint. The router ships with wireless
encryption using WEP turned on by default and offers
enterprise-level security, including a fully customizable
firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection,denial of service
protection, content filtering, and intrusion detection to
keep unwanted visitors from accessing the user’s network.
The Wireless Broadband Router also offers Parental con-
trol capabilities, including user-defined site blocking by
URL, the ability to customize filtering policies for each
computer, and user notification of attempted access to
restricted sites.
