stations.
œ3dBi Antennas:3dBi PR-SMA antennas can make data transmission rate
faster and the radio coverage can be larger and have less dead spots.
œSpeeds to 300Mbps:All speeds up to the 802.11n maximum of
300Mbps (theoretical value) are supported.
œWireless LAN Security:(WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK Support) Supports
for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA-PSK, as well as Wireless
access control to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your
LAN. Key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported.
œWDS support.

MZK-W04N
ƖAdvanced Functions
œCommunication Applications:Support for Internet communication
applications, such as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing
applications, which are often difficult to use when behind a Firewall, is
included.
œWMM Support:MZK-W04N can let you have better video/audio data
transmission quality.
œSpecial Internet Applications: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.
œDDNS Support:DDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows Internet users to
connect to Virtual Servers on your LAN using a domain name, even if
your IP address is not fixed.
œDMZ:One PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow
unrestricted 2-way communication with Servers or individual users on
the Internet.
œURL Filter:Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites
by LAN users.
œInternet Access Log:See which Internet connections have been made.
œQoS Support.
ƖSecurity Features
œPassword - protected Configuration:Optional password protection
is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the
configuration data and settings.
œNAT 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 location and even the existence of each PC is
hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single
device - the Wireless Router.

Chapter 1 Introduction to MZK-W04N
œProtection 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 Router incorporates
protection against DoS attacks.
