The 3Com OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 108 Mbps 11g Firewall Router is equipped with eXtended Range technology, a new advanced chipset featuring new baseband architecture that enables long-range connections. The architecture delivers receive sensitivities of up to -105dBm, over 20dB better than the 802.11 specification. This technology provides coverage in home networking environments with a single access point, eliminates the dead spots in corporate wireless LANs, and provides unobstructed coverage of up to two times the distance of competing WLAN solutions.

Advanced wireless security and multiple firewall features offer a strong level of protection for the network. To shield wireless connections, the 11g gateway router implements 128-bit WPA/WPA2 with TKIP/AES encryption for maximum security, along with 40/64 and 128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption for legacy clients. A stateful packet inspection firewall, hacker pattern detection, URL filtering, IP and MAC address filtering and support for the SurfControl Web Filter service and other security features help protect the entire network from attacks and other Internet security risks.

The unit comes with a 14 day free trial of the SurfControl Web Filter, an optional content filtering service for routers that blocks access to pornographic, prejudicial, violent and undesired Internet web content or services.

For features this router provides a transparent bridge firewall with proxy ARP, 1-to-1 NAT, NAT off mode and more to increase flexibility in deployment. Designed to be easy to set up and use, this firewall router can auto PVC scan simplifying installation.
