Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch 
The  Router  has  a  built-in,  four-port  network  switch  to  allow  your  wired 
computers  to  share  printers,  data  and  MP3  files,  digital  photos,  and 
much  more.  The  switch  features  automatic  detection  so  it  will  adjust  to 
the  speed  of  connected  devices.  The  switch  will  transfer  data  between 
computers  and  the  Internet  simultaneously  without  interrupting  or 
consuming  resources.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) 
UPnP  is  a  technology  that  offers  seamless  operation  of  voice 
messaging,  video  messaging,  games,  and  other  applications  that
 
are  UPnP-compliant.
Support for VPN Pass-Through 
If  you  connect  to  your  office  network  from  home  using  a  VPN 
connection,  your  Router  will  allow  your  VPN-equipped  computer  to 
pass  through  the  Router  and  to  your  office  network.
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) 
Built-In  Dynamic  Host  Configuration  Protocol  (DHCP)  on-board  makes 
for  the  easiest  possible  connection  of  a  network.  The  DHCP  server 
will  assign  IP  addresses  to  each  computer  automatically  so  there  is  no 
need  for  a  complicated  networking  setup.
Setup Assistant 
The  Setup  Assistant,  second  generation  of  Belkin’s  renowned  Easy 
Install  Wizard,  takes  the  guesswork  out  of  setting  up  your  Router.
 
This  automatic  software  determines  your  network  settings  for  you 
and  sets  up  the  Router  for  connection  to  your  Internet  Service  Provider 
(ISP).  In  a  matter  of  minutes,  your  Router  will  be  up  and  running  on  the 
Internet.
Note:   Setup  Assistant  software  is  compatible  with  Windows  2000, 
XP,  Vista  and  Mac  OSX  10.2,  10.3  and  10.4.  If  you  are  using  another 
operating  system,  the  Router  can  beset  up  using  the  Alternate  Setup 
Method  described  in  this  User  Manual  (see  page  30).

Integrated N Wireless Access Point 
N  MIMO  is  an  exciting  new  wireless  technology  based  on  the  draft 
IEEE  802.11n  specification.  It  employs  MIMO  (Multiple  Input  Multiple 
Output)  smart-antenna  technology  that  achieves  data  rates  of  up  to 
300Mbps.*  Actual  throughput  is  typically  lower  than  the  connected 
data  rate  and  will  vary  depending  on  your  networking  environment.
* NOTE :  The  standard  transmission  rate—300Mbps—is  the  physical 
data  rate.  Actual  data  throughput  will  be  lower.
MAC Address Filtering 
For  added  security,  you  can  set  up  a  list  of  MAC  addresses  (unique 
client  identifiers)  that  are  allowed  access  to  your  network.  Every 
computer  has  its  own  MAC  address.  Simply  enter  these  MAC 
addresses  into  a  list  using  the  Web-Based  Advanced  User  Interface 
and  you  can  control  access  to  your  network.
