Chapter 1 - Introduction

Features

125 High Speed Mode

The WL-520g wireless router uses the 802.11g OFDM standard to allow

fast 54Mbps wireless data transfers while remaining fully compatible with

previous 802.11b devices. With "Afterburner" technology, WL-520g can

boost wireless transfer speeds by 35% compared with standard 802.11g

speeds. (Afterburner support is also required on client side.)

Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)

WMM enhances wireless transfers of multimedia contents, providing

wireless network users an improved experience for sharing audio and video

files. WMM is a profile of the upcoming IEEE 802.11e Quality of Service

(QoS) extensions for 802.11 networks. QoS and multimedia support are

critical to wireless home networks, which require video on demand, audio

on demand, voice over IP and high-speed Internet access. (WMM support

is also required on client side.)

Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2™)

WPA2 is the next-generation Wi-Fi security standard, combining the most

powerful authentication and encryption techniques, such as the Advanced

Encryption Standard (AES) to provide government grade security to protect

wireless networks from unauthorized use. WPA2 is designed to be backward

compatible with the original WPA standard, and therefore, WPA2 also

supports TKIP, AES, WPA, WPA-PSK and 802.1x authenticated WPA

networks. WEP, ACL and SPI firewall are also included to make sure

information doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

ASUS EZSetup Wizard

Adopting a unique push button design, ASUS' Wireless Router Series greatly

streamlines the setup process for beginners. Just press the button located

on the back of the device and use the simple ASUS EZSetup Wizard utility.

The routers will automatically register various wireless-capable devices

onto the network and activate security standards.

Parental Control / Children Protection

With specific keywords in URL setting within a pre-defined time interval,

this home wireless router will do web based filtering parental control to

filter/block adult content from newsgroups or websites. It is a router-based

filter, not PC-based, so you just make settings one time to keep all household

internet devices protected.
