Securely Share Your Cable/DSL Internet –
With or Without Wires!
When you connect your cable/DSL modem to the NETGEAR Wireless Router, you’ll enjoy
wired or wireless Internet access for all your computers, and be assured of protected
communications on your home or small office network. This 3-in-1 Router + Switch +
Wireless Access Point is a base station that allows you to share your Internet connection,
files and printers with other computers on the network. Your communications and network
are thoroughly safeguarded both ways, from the inside out and the outside in. True firewall
with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Network Address Translation (NAT) monitors and
blocks unwanted traffic from entering your network, shielding your network from hackers
and wireless eavesdroppers. Internet activities are always safe because web-address filtering
gives you control over any contact network users have with web sites. There’s also Freedom®
Personal Firewall software included, free. This is the full-version software for 8 PCs (a $240
value) to block ads, manage your passwords, and prevent applications from sending your
personal information over the Internet. And thanks to the unique Smart Wizard, you can
install this router with ease.
Designed specifically for home and small office use with Plug and Play installation. You’ll be surfing
in minutes. The Install Assistant guides you through each step, and on-screen help is there when
you need it. The unique Smart Wizard technology automatically detects your ISP connection type –
saving you time and effort. On the front are lighted icons that display network status at a glance.
Works with PC and Macintosh®platforms, and virtually all Ethernet devices, and it comes with a
vertical stand to save desk space. NETGEAR even includes the cable for your first computer to save
a trip back to the store.
True firewall with SPI and NAT to track and filter connections coming in from the Internet
to your network, giving you powerful protection against Internet hackers. VPN (Virtual
Private Network) pass-through allows users secure access to corporate networks. Powerful
encryption (40/64 or 128-bit) protects against eavesdroppers, and Address Authentication
restricts connections to specific wireless adapters – only those you approve are allowed to use
your network. E-mails notify you of Internet activity. Content logging and filtering limit
access to inappropriate web sites.
