CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Barricade™ N Draft 11n 
Wireless 4-port Broadband Router (SMCWBR14S-N2). We are proud to 
provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for 
connecting your local area network (LAN) to the Internet. For those who 
want to surf the Internet in the most secure way, this router provides a 
convenient and powerful solution.
About the Barricade
The Barricade provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a 
single-user account. This new technology provides many secure and 
cost-effective functions. It is simple to configure and can be up and 
running in minutes.
The Barricade is compliant with the next generation IEEE 802.11n draft 
v2.0 specification while maintaining full backwards compatibility with the 
IEEE 802.11b/g standards. This next generation wireless networking 
standard utilizes advanced MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) technology 
to deliver incredible speed and range. With wireless speeds up to 300Mbps 
- five times faster than 802.11g, the SMCWBR14S-N2 provides sufficient 
bandwidth to stream HD video, listen to digital music, play online games, 
transfer large files, make VoIP calls and surf the Internet simultaneously.

Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by this Barricade:
• Wired and Wireless LAN
The Barricade provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, and 
wireless connection speed up to 300 Mbps. This router is fully 
compliant with specifications defined in IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 
802.11g and IEEE 802.11n draft v2.0 standards, making it easy to 
create a network in small offices or homes.
 Internet Access
This device allows you to share your Cable/xDSL Internet 
connection. Since many ADSL providers use PPPoE to establish 
communications with end users, the Barricade includes a built-in 
client for this protocol, eliminating the need to install these services 
on your computer.
 Shared IP Address
The Barricade provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single 
shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your 
network can browse the web at the same time.
 Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Barricade to act as a 
virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access 
various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then, 
depending on the requested service (or port number), the Barricade 
can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal IP 
address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and 
provides more flexible management by allowing you to change 
internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your 
network. 
						

							APPLICATIONS
1-4
 DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. 
This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an 
Internet application from functioning correctly.

The Barricade supports security features that deny Internet access to 
specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that the 
administrator does not want to serve. The Barricade’s firewall also 
blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, 
Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port 
loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. 
WPA/WPA2, IEEE802.1x, WEP, SSID, and MAC filtering provide 
security over the wireless network.
 Virtual Private Network (VPN Pass-through)
The Barricade supports three of the most commonly used VPN 
protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. These VPN protocols are 
transparent pass-through. The protocols supported by the Barricade 
are briefly described below.
• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol – Provides a secure tunnel for 
remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes 
provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.
• L2TP merges the best features of PPTP and L2F – Like PPTP, 
L2TP requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol.
• IP Security – Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can 
support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using 
digital certificates for device authentication.
