WN414
Single-band Draft 802.11n Router
Introduction
The WN414 combines a DSL/cable router, four-port 10/100-Mbps Ethernet switch, and IEEE draft 802.11n access point (AP) in one convenient, affordable unit. It is the ideal solution for providing multiple computers in a home or small office with secure, economical, high-speed wired/wireless LAN and Internet connectivity.

The router connects to a DSL or cable modem through an auto-sensing MDI/MDI-X Fast Ethernet port, automatically working at 10 or 100 Mbps whether the cable is straight- or cross-wired. The switch ports, also auto-adjusting, can support four directly connected computers or dozens of computers connected through daisy-chained switches. The wireless AP, conforming to the IEEE's draft 802.11n standard, gives draft-11n clients LAN and Internet access at speeds up to 600 Mbps, while also supporting 802.11b and 802.11g clients at improved levels of throughput and range.

Powerful firewall features including NAPT and DoS attack prevention protect the network against external threats, while VPN passthrough and virtual server functions ensure that authorized users can connect from the outside. Local security features include MAC and IP address filtering, plus WEP, WPA, and WPA2 to ensure wireless security. A URL/content filtering function helps parents protect family values and managers maintain productivity. Setup and management are carried out through an embedded browser-based configuration utility that gives the user point-and-click control of all functions.

An AP that provides unsurpassed wireless throughput and range, a switch that provides wired speed equal to that of any corporate LAN, and a router that delivers outstanding flexibility, security, and ease of use, the WN414 is indeed a winning combination!
