DRG600 WiFi Features
The DRG600-WiFi 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 DRG600-
WiFi, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external
sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation)
•
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet connection, the DRG600-WiFi supports both Dynamic IP
Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.
•
PPPoE support. Connecting to the Internet using Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is also
supported.
