Broadband Router Features
The TW100-BRF114U incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide
sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet
through the Broadband Router, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid)
IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Ad-
dress Translation).
•
DSL & Cable Modem Support. The TW100-BRF114U has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet
port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are sup-
ported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login support is also included.
•
PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond Support. All common
Internet connection methods are supported, including PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP
(Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol), L2TP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia),
as well as "Direct Connection" type services.
