Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of the WBR-3600 Router's features
and capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new WBR-3600 Router. The WBR-3600
Router is a multi-function device providing the following services:
ADSL2+ Modem.
Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.
Wireless Access Point for 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations.
4-Port Switching Hub for 10BaseT or 100BaseT connections.
Figure 1: Wireless ADSL2+ Router
WBR-3600 Router Features
The WBR-3600 Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to
provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the
Internet through the Wireless ADSL2+ Router, using only a single external IP Ad-
dress. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This
process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
Built-in ADSL2+ Modem. The Wireless ADSL2+ Router has a built-in ADSL2+
modem, supporting all common ADSL2+ connections.
IPoA, PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct Connection Support. The Wireless ADSL2+
Router supports all common connection methods.

7
Auto-detection of Internet Connection Method. In most situations, the
Wireless ADSL2+ Router can test your ADSL2+ and Internet connection to deter-
mine the connection method used by your ISP.
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (ADSL port) connection, the
Wireless ADSL2+ Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allo-
cated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard
connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to
define and allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be
used normally.
Port Triggering. This feature, also called Special Applications, allows you to
use Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a fire-
wall.
Port Forwarding. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers
on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature,
allows users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you
have a dynamic IP address which changes every time you connect.
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN
users.
Scheduling. Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to operate
only at certain times. This provides great flexibility in controlling Internet -bound
traffic.
Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a
Syslog Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.
VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking)
software using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configura-
tion is required.
Wireless Features
Standards Compliant. The Wireless ADSL2+ Router complies with the
IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.
Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations. The 802.11g
standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both
802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
Speeds to 54Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are
supported.
WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key
sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before trans-
mission, providing protection against snoopers.
WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmis-
sion, providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than
WEP, and provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.
Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can
check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that
only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.

8
Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be
changed quickly and easily.
WPS Support. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is based on push-button or PIN
entry authentication to provide strong WPA/WPA2 encryption keys to client devic-
es.
LAN Features
4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless ADSL2+ Router incorporates a 4-port
10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a
dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless
ADSL2+ Router can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and
WLAN.
Configuration & Management
Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for
configuration.
Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration
data from the Wireless ADSL2+ Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a pre-
viously-saved configuration file to the Wireless ADSL2+ Router.
Remote Management. The Wireless ADSL2+ Router can be managed from
any PC on your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can
also (optionally) be configured via the Internet.
Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless ADSL2+ Router to perform a
Ping or DNS lookup.
Security Features
Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
Wireless LAN Security. WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x and WEP and Wireless
access control by MAC address are all supported. The MAC-level access control
feature can be used to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your
LAN.
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation)
technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the loca-
tion and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint,
there is no network, only a single device - the Wireless ADSL2+ Router.
Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server re-
quests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from
external sources.
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood
your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so
much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable.
The Wireless ADSL2+ Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
