Specially designed internal antennas provide great range in an attractive, sleek case that looks good in any room, on a shelf or wall-mounted

Fast Wired Connections
The Modem-Router also provides connections for 4 directly-wired network devices.  You'll get fast file transfers to network storage devices, printers, and other wired network devices.

On-time delivery with QoS
And, to deliver your time-sensitive Internet traffic efficiently, the Modem-Router features Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities.  QoS tells your network to give priority to packets in time-sensitive streams like Voice (VoIP) or media (audio or video), so that these types of applications can deliver less garbled conversations and smoother digital video.

Prioritize applications:
MSN Messenger, Skype, or Yahoo! Messenger
Many popular online game presets, or add your own
Or prioritize devices by MAC address, specific Ethernet port, or specific Voice device

Also supports Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) for automatic prioritization of voice and video streams

Safe and Sound Wireless Security
To help protect your data and privacy, the Modem-Router can encrypt all wireless transmissions with the latest industrial-strength 128-bit encryption.

Choose the wireless security of WEP, WPA Personal or Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, Enterprise, or Mixed, or RADIUS
Prevent or permit specific wireless devices from accessing the network by listing their MAC address
Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ support for WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) wireless connections at the push of a button

Internet Security
The Wireless-N Home ADSL2+ Modem-Router has a powerful SPI firewall to help protect you against intruders and most known Internet attacks.  The Modem-Router also features filters that let you deny specific types of Internet requests, and block certain application types.

NAT (Network Address Translation) helps prevent your local network and its devices from being "seen" from the Internet
SPI Firewall blocks un-asked-for Internet traffic

Port Forwarding and DMZ allow controlled access to your network resources from the Internet

Access Controls for Parents
Of growing concern for parents is the amount and type of Internet access their families have.  The Wireless-N Home ADSL2+ Modem-Router can help.  Parents can create policies for each PC in the house, to control access by time and day, specific website, keyword, protocols, or applications.

For each PC in the house:
Specify Internet availability by time and day of the week
Block specific websites by web address or categories keyword
Block specific Internet protocols like FTP, POP3, IMAP, or SMTP
Block specific applications, like online games, by communication ports used

The included Cisco Setup Wizard software runs on both Windows and Mac, and walks you step-by-step through the initial setup of the Modem-Router with clear illustrations and jargon-free language.
