A Powerful, True Firewall

Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the DG834G is a true firewall, using stateful packet

inspection to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:

• Denial of Service (DoS) protection

Automatically detects and thwarts Denial of Service (DoS) attacks such as Ping of Death,

SYN Flood, LAND Attack and IP Spoofing.

• Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN.

• Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits.

• Logs security incidents

The DG834G will log security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks,

and administrator logins. You can configure the router to email the log to you at specified

intervals. You can also configure the router to send immediate alert messages to your email

address or email pager whenever a significant event occurs.

802.11 Standards-based Wireless Networking

The DG834G wireless router includes an 802.11g-compliant wireless access point, providing

continuous, high-speed 10/100 Mbps access between your wireless and Ethernet devices. The

access point provides:

• 802.11g Standards-based wireless networking at up to 54 Mbps

• Works with both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless devices

• 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption security

• WEP keys can be entered manually or generated by passphrase
